Aided by a tailwind, Kamworor split a 13:01 5k for the final 3.1 miles of the race. He probably wouldn’t have been able to go that fast without the help of the wind and the strategic start, but those are minor quibbles when you consider he cranked out a time which would have won gold at the 2016 Olympics at the end of a half marathon.

ya man that's SO INSANE!@)$(!@)$(!@)$(@!)$(!@)$(!@)$(!@

and he finished it with his trademark enormous smile, lmfao:

toe is being annoying.

if it feels ok tmw morning, might do a light "below tweak threshold" easy run. Already canceled out of track tmw.

if it's bugging, won't do anything. will at least walk to the field first .. if it's bad, will just keep walking.

need to heel this "turf toe" up.

FUCKING JUMP ROPE.

feh.

gn.

Zion's slingshot (2nd dunk) was nasty.. hand/arm so far back.

this contest is so awful .. it's like, kids who watched a ton of youtube videos, trying stuff for the first time, not even coming close. it's really odd.

stumbled upon this .. finisher video!!

hope for henry mother's day 5k: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/hopeforhenry5k/
- this is the day after my brother's memorial service and three days after i land in the states, so conditions will not be ideal. but shit, desperate times. need to check with fam about whether they're okay with me entering. i imagine they will be, i'd be home by 9:30 or 10 am, likely before my other brother wakes up.

damn :/

i don't see the start time but it's probably 7/7:30 AM so, should be able to get out of there by 8 ez and back in plenty of time. good way to clear the head I imagine. :/

I'm racing a half marathon on the 27th in Edinburgh, lol, but I'll think seriously about signing up for the on the 30th.

hah this is cool!!

that UK race meetup. nice.

you gonna join the team?

nah probably not. who knows tho.

I don't like the idea of tying myself down to one team. I don't respond well to stuff like that. So I need to be careful committing to people/teams, instead of just being a lone wolf competitor - which I feel more comfortable with. Just typing that out, the idea of being on a team stresses me out a bit. The idea of being a lone wolf competitor, makes me feel great. Just how i'm wired I guess.
