from her first long race outside nepal, which she won by breaking the course record:

Quote
“I was running with Hillary [Allen], just staying behind. I took it a bit easily. Really enjoyed. Wow, check points they have fruit, everything, to eat,” she said, making a mouth-filling motion with both hands. “You can drink so much you have to spit it out! Near every check point—‘Allez allez,’ ‘Dai dai,’ cow bells tung tung tung. I am ‘Hello, hi everybody.’ At 65km, I said ‘Let’s go, Hillary’ and started a little bit fast. First sister [Anna Comet Pascua of Spain] was walking hands on legs. I am just walking normally, and passed her. I met Greg [Vollet, of team Salomon] at 70km. ‘Wow Mira, you are very strong,’ Greg said. OK, I will try. Bye-bye Greg brother, then I am going, and I ran hard.”

there are two parties because the US has a first past the post election system and single-seat/district legislatures at the state and federal levels. because it's winner-take-all, advantage goes to candidates with a lot of resources and the ability to draw on a fairly wide swath of voters within a given electoral geography. third parties rise to prominence, briefly, from time to time (most recently the greens a little more than 15 years ago, may they rest in pain, the fucking assholes, they're partly responsible for dubya). but because they almost always finish third, they can't get into the government and therefore can't accomplish anything. so they shrivel again.

we actually have other parties: the greens are still around, the libertarian party, a couple of socialist parties. but none of them hold any elected office of note.

romania has proportional representation, so even if a politician/party doesn't get the most votes, s/he/they could still get into the government.

some really nice jumps in there, absolutely loved that two hand rim grab.. that's a dunk-jump for sure. Also that one where yellow-shorts blocked most of it looked really high.. are you getting more amp'd up when people are around?

do you know if you can record in 720p? i'm getting 280p on youtube.

sick man. pC!

yeah the yellow shorts jump was around 36.5: base of palm but not quite wrist. very high for me but not quite PR-level. not sure it's the other people, i've just been getting up higher in general. but my highest jumps have all come with other people around so dunno. small sample size.

will see if i can up the resolution on the vids. not sure how to do that but i think the phone can even shoot 4k. should be able to shoot 720.

some vids today. apologies for the wonky flashing on the dimmer slow-mo vids. it's dim in that court. also for the dude in yellow shorts who stood in precisely the worst place for him to stand. thanks bro.

being able to grab with two hands pretty regularly is new within the past couple of weeks.

head hurting this morning, my first hangover in a while. i didn't even drink that much yesterday, and i drank plenty of water and stopped drinking fairly early, 10PM. i stayed up late finishing re-reading harry potter and the methods of rationality (cool guy right here) so maybe that had something to do with it? vexing.

AFTERNOON

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe a little
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 12-15
tried a few lobs but the dudes who were tossing them were wayyy off. got up pretty good, not quite as high as two weeks ago but probably second-highest session ever

- bound-bound jump x 3,3

- squat 345 x 1,1; 315 x 1,1,1
meant to do 335, was surprised how heavy it felt then realized i'm dumb. 315 flew up.

- superset x 2
-- DB push press 50s x 10
-- pull up x 10;5+3+2

- MB OH toss x 8

hm. explanation has the ring of satisfying logic but i don't see why warming up with the vest, taking it off for ME jumps, and then putting it on for other exercises that are not running jumps -- and just to move around -- would necessarily be dangerous. i do see why wearing it for some running jumps, then not, then back on again could be dangerous.

at any rate, t0ddday, any feedback on the MB throws?

paused squats are good. or just lighter squats done many times with a lot of intention about leading with your chest. grease the proper groove.
