"race" day!

writing for future reference: love how I ate yesterday.
- I did a very light fasted ~45 min run in the morning. Then I had orange juice/beet juice.
- Around 2-3 PM I had 10 chicken wings + focaccia bread.
- I did a very light ~1 hour run in the evening. Followed by some grilled chicken and two southwest-style egg rolls with w/ sour cream.

then this morning:
- big glass of orange juice, rxbar, and a banana
- the banana was something I normally don't eat for fear of stomach bloating etc.. but the rxbar itself just wasn't settling my stomach. shortly after eating the banana, I felt great.

felt really light/amp'd/ready to go during my warmup for the race.

- 1km @ 2:57 / 4:46 min/mi -> road 1km & race km PR :personal-record:

most fun i've had in a while.

plan was to run at least 1km with the elites (including current olympic trials qualifiers etc). got it done. I really could have gone a bit longer & should have, but it's really hard knowing you have 5.x miles left.. just plays tricks on you. so it's like i accomplished my "minimum goal" and then that was it. that's my only "let down", not extending it out more and trying to get a mile with them. Running that pace with guys who can relax at that pace, is definitely a completely different feeling than when I crank out hard 1km's by myself.

finishing kick (~100m) @ 4:12 min/mi pace lmao.

first OA ran 29:27. I was right behind him @ 1km LMFAO.

FRONT ROW SEATS HOMIE, for 3 minutes.

30% next year would be 3km.. that's the goal for this race in 2019.

pc!











that first mile ended up being ~5:22. that's me hitting a 2:57 km then wimping out and dropping it down to 7:XX pace .. still ends up being 5:22 lol.

kinda interesting how my HR jumps *after* I slow down, no? .. hmm.





06:45 PM: light: 1 hour (grass/rocks/dirt) -> that dip in activity at 2.5 mi is me taking a nasty fall - a new rock emerged from nowhere in the pitch darkness
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1972984264

elbow, hand, and side of knee are scuffed up a little. no problem tho.

crazy.. was a big rock too. something must have unearthed it, and i clipped it.

HR is low again!

This is nearing 1km.. One of my favorite photos of all time, obviously.



That's me and the top 5 of the race. People ran smart races, and didn't go out with those monsters. That's fine, I totally respect it. But, I also got to watch the elites up close for a little over 3 minutes. And got this insane shot.

lmfao!@!@!@

Guy at the front is a 28:28 10k'r. Guy on the far right is a former American Record holder, multiple olympic trials qualifier, one of the fastest native born Americans ever (across a ton of distances).

That's who I want to run with.

I'm fucking amp'd.

I saw Fernando Cabada before the race (big fan of his). He was cool as fu*k. He was like, what are you going for? I said, i'm just going to run with you guys for as long as possible. He laughed and said, that sounds fun good luck etc.

So, gun goes off, and I go right to the "front" (behind Brian Shrader, a 28:28 10k guy, and another guy) .. and then I just stay behind them for ~3 minutes.

Afterwards, Fernando saw me again and he said something like "damn dude I didn't know you were serious. when you told me that initially I was thinking, good luck, it's going to be fast, but you went out flying"

haha.

kinda cool.

Fernando ended up getting 2nd OA!!! He wasn't too confident going into the race, but he brings it, and got it done.

ok so tmw morning I get to run with elites (10k).. some guys who have made the olympic trials for 2020 etc.

how long will I last?

i'm hoping for a mile but, who knows.

the best bet is probably 1km.. i imagine they'll go out around 4:50 min/mi soo.. I just need to make sure i'm up at the front of the start, so that my plan doesn't get wrecked the moment the horn goes off. It's a 10k so, I don't expect they will go out insanely fast.

hoping that with adrenaline in me, I run really strong and can hang for a mile at least.

400m?
800m?
1km?
1200m?
1 mile?
2km?

guess i'll find out tomorrow. ;d

now hopefully i can fall asleep.. last night was awful.

gn!

10 game season plus a playoff. 10 teams. 2 bye weeks iirc. Yeah we play college rules so 2 20 min halves. I showed up about 3 mins before tip off due to work so i choose to warmup vs start. Came in around the 15 min mark and played those 15 and all the second. A couple guys were asking if I needed a break in the second and it took a few that had played with me to say "no no no, he's just getting loose" lol! IDK why but I'm definitely stronger/faster/etc at the end of games than the beginning. Im leaning toward I'm just getting older and it takes a while for my tendons and ligaments to loosen up and get warm.

10 games + playoffs, nice.

takes me a while to warmup too.. but, it's always taken me a while to warmup. lol.

Did some chest and shoulders tonight. 190.2 lbs BW. DB ohp with the 65s 3x8. Hit some flat bench for 225 8-10 reps for a few sets. Accessory work and a lot of core. Finished with a few BW lunges and some penultimate step SL work. Took a short clip on my phone of that to compare L vs R legs and will post shortly! For now... Food. 😂

Tada. Trying to keep knee bend minimal but that's hard off just one step. Oh well.

But with more interesting news.

Fights planned and agreed to

Mikey garcia vs errol spence

Keith thurman is fighting josesito lopez

danny garcia fighting granados.

and other fights

some good fights there.

i'm most excited about Garcia/Spence tho, that should be very interesting. Spence is a monster but, so is Garcia - a technical monster with serious heart & chin. Not going to be an easy fight for Spence. I kinda think Garcia can get a decision against him. I just don't see Spencer knocking Garcia out.. and Garcia knows how to win rounds, he's just skilled af. Both guys are great. Can't wait for this.
