is it me or do I look like i've gotten "bigger"? lol.
the raw image:
From "Loco Rio":
For only doing hills basically the week prior, I handle them really well. I mean I was crushing them, up and down. I actually went harder up, than down. I pushed it hard on the uphill, played it more safe on the steep downhill, then pushed it hard on the safe downhills. Whatever, i'm a beast sometimes.
That Andrew Moore dude is pretty fast: 3:03 marathon in Miami, which is a VERY slow marathon according to everyone. So he's fast over the longer distances, and decent over shorter. Probably needs more speed work.
But ya, apparently him and I crushed everyone, speed-wise.
We both had the mindset of: not letting a single competitor pass us, for the entire day. Success. lol.
I'd like to make the olympic trials in something eventually, even though i'm not getting any younger
The girl on the far left (Andrea - she's the one who I posted about before), has a 2:57 full marathon. I think she could make the marathon olympic trials eventually, which is <= 2:45:00. She's no joke, I think she'll make an insane amount of progress in the coming years.

women's team:
A few of the Loco Rio guys hinted to me about that "elite group" they are creating. I think they really want me to be involved. But respectably, they also mentioned, "we aren't just going to recruit people who don't run with the group. we want to put together an 'elite group', but we also want them to be apart of our run community etc, do training sessions with everyone .. doesn't have to be every session but enough to be apart of the community". Stuff like that.
I planned on going to their track session last week .. couldn't wake up early enough. This week I planned to try again, it's on Wednesday, and I wanted to do their long run on Saturday as well - which has other people from "Runner's Depot" involved. They have an "elite team" as well.
I really like being a longer, but I also like training with driven people.. so we'll see.

From "Loco Rio":
Quote
Sunday was an epic day for Loco Rio. At the Vista View 360 6 hour relay our men's and women's teams both not only claimed victory, but did so in dominant fashion.
The men's team of Scott Russell, Andrew Moore, Andrew Darqui, and Tom Pinkerton completed 44 laps (54.6 miles) and beat the second place team by 5 laps (6.2 miles). The team was led by an unstoppable 1-2 punch of Andrew Darqui and Andrew Moore who were the two fastest runners on the course for the day. This was the second straight year the men took home the championship.
The women's team of Andrea Cadavid, Julie West, Katy Kalian, and Leigh Kamens were equally impressive and completed 38 laps (47.1 miles) beating the second place team by 2 laps (2.5 miles). They were one lap off of tying the course record and we will have our sights on equaling or topping that mark in 2019.
The men's B team of Marcus Harrington, Josh Long, Justin Miller, and Douglas Janes engaged in a battle royale with 2 other teams for 2nd place. It was a back and forth affair with the 3 teams exchanging the lead all day. The 3 teams all finished the day with 39 laps (48.4 miles) and the Locos ended up in 4th place 1:13 behind 2nd place and 11 seconds behind 3rd place.
There is no better time to officially announce that Loco Rio will be launching a performance initiative this week. Details will follow in the next couple of days, but they will include qualifying standards for the Pronghorn Racing team, weekly midweek morning track workouts at Carter Park, and a long run on Saturday mornings from Runner's Depot Ft Lauderdale that will include the option of an easy paced run or a different long tempo run each week for intermediate to advanced runners.
Whether your goal is breaking 30 minutes in the 5k or making the Olympic trials we want to be a part of the process. Loco veterans we hope to see more of you and if you haven't "gone Loco" we hope to see you out at one of our 3 weekly runs.

btw. this deserves its own post.
I drink a TON of water lately, for the last month or so. Anyway, yesterday I was retaining quite a bit.. the cold weather in combination with the stop/go action of this 6 hour event had me peeing my brains out. That's the most i've ever pee'd in my entire life. It was annoying and incredible.
I went to the bathroom after every lap .. and sometimes again before the start of my next lap. Thankfully the bathroom situation was amazing - no lines, park restroom etc. So, at least 20 bathroom trips. Insane.
I had to go really bad during one of the laps.. That sucked.
149 before I went to the event. 145 after, and that was with adequate hydration/food/etc. Just emptied out like crazy.
crazy.

Basketball / Re: NBA 2017 - 2018 Season
« on: January 15, 2018, 06:32:38 am »i wonder if heat going to run out of gas the way they are winning lately....
its not easy to beat raptors @ canada and pacers @ indy...... they beat celts ..... i mean dam
they are like 20-4 the last 25 games..... usually when teams do this and they're not golden state.... they hit a wall sometime.....
all it takes is for u to go up against a hungry team and be out of it to go on losing streaks in this league...... that is if ur not GSW.... gsw on another level, they have the power of the RING ....
i dno. i think the beauty of Miami is that there aren't any "true superstars", other than Whiteside but, he's more of a rebounding/blocking/big presence superstar, his offense is decent but he isn't there #1 goto. There's no real #1 goto player anymore. On any given night, anyone can go off. This doesn't happen too often in the NBA.
as far as coach Spo goes, these last two years are probably his most impressive. All of the titles he has with the heat, came with multiple mega-star players: Shaq/Wade, Lebron/Wade/Bosh. It took him a while last year to figure this group out and get them clicking. It took a short while this year. But man once he gets them all clicking, 12 deep, they became a real threat. Literally anyone on that team can step up and their defense is rugged.
so ya not sure if they will fizzle or not.. last year they kept it up from all-star break until the end. This year I really think they will keep it up into the playoffs.
I just don't think i've seen a team with this many injuries, respond so well .. EVER. Except maybe the New England Patriots in Football: reason - their Coach. Seems like the same reason here.
I'm a heat fan so, but even if I wasn't, i'd be just as impressed with the heat's last 2 seasons and Spo's coaching.
I think they'll be even more on point in the playoffs. Lots of analysts now saying the Heat could be the real darkhorse in the playoffs this year, ruining alot of party's. We'll see somewhat soon enough..
man i wish i can see some closed practices of GSW.... they must really go at it and work at it in practice.... i can see Kerr just going nuts over certain things..... kerr has that MJ aggression in him, it happens when ur with MJ for so long....
gsw is just faster and more accurate than the entire league period.... steph klay can release shot in like mili secs and kd shoots over anyone with accuracy....
give gsw the ring now, its over.... like seriously..... they're just going to win the ring again unless refs make sure they dno't and than that would just be too obvious on nat'l tv
lol pretty much. Kerr will be a GOAT-level coach when it's all over. He might end up the "Jordan of NBA Coaching", eclipsing Phil etc. I like his style and offense alot better than Phil as well. Plus Phil had MJ and Kobe/Shaq. KD changes everything for GSW, that's like Kobe/Shaq level now for GSW, except KD and everyone on GSW seems to get along great. HEH. That's important. Those dudes love playing with each other, sharing the ball, lighting it up as a team, and defending hard.
Always loved Kerr. Just hope his damn back gets fixed :/

Vista View Ultra 360 Relay: Our team (Loco Rio) got men's #1 (44 laps? @ 1.25 mi per lap)! Women's team got #1 also! 11 x 1.25 miles. 7th overall on horse trail (5:54 min/mi pace) on the hilly path - on my last lap - nice.
Stepped on a rock real hard in the first lap, on a downhill in a concrete gutter. Hurt pretty bad when walking, but not much when running - thankfully. The "pain of running" helped drown it out, and there was lots of soft mulch which also helped. Was really worried about it initially. About to ice it.
Apparently these were my splits, pace via running calculator:
11 x 1.25 mile splits:
7:37 00:24:08 // 6:05 min/mi
7:31 00:56:54 // 6:00 min/mi
7:39 01:28:34 // 6:07 min/mi
7:31 02:00:17 // 6:00 min/mi
7:30 02:32:22 // 5:55 min/mi
7:35 03:04:33 // 6:03 min/mi
7:45 03:36:57 // 6:12 min/mi
7:50 04:09:36 // 6:15 min/mi
7:31 04:42:13 // 6:00 min/mi
7:52 05:15:38 // 6:17 min/mi
7:15 05:48:10 // 5:47 min/mi
2 x sub6, 5 x very close to sub6. 9.25 miles @ ~6 with recovery in between. pretty cool.
btw .. a 60 year old won the individual race, incredible. 31 laps. Last year's winner had like 42, he's a pro, but he's also like 40 or so? This dude is 60 & dropped 31 laps. 31 x 1.25 miles. pretty sick. seemed like a cool/weird dude haha.
http://www.splitsecondtiming.com/results/2018/vistaindiv2018.php
The team results:
http://www.splitsecondtiming.com/results/2018/vistateam2018.php
#2, #3, and #4 were in a real battle .. that was pretty close.
we fell short of our goal of 46, but some of that is due to people playing it conservative - to be safe. I didn't play it conservative at all. I just went out hard every time and figured, who cares, let's get it. Some of the laps were really rough and I noticed I was breathing harder than every single person I past (blazed by).. so that was interesting.
On my very last lap, the one I pushed really hard, I was making lots of yelling-ish noises. Just did so naturally. In order to keep that pace, I had to just "grunt-bark" from pretty much 0.50 to 1.25.. It was really loud but it helped me keep turning on the turbo boost.
This is probably a good sign leading up to March 24th's half marathon .. I really think I can hang with those 5:55-6:05 dudes who normally win it. I should be in even better shape by then too, so ... looking to shock some people & WIN in my back yard.
I think they took lots of photos.. should have some good ones.
oh .. I ran with my glasses the entire time as well.. after I wrecked my right heel in the first lap, I just couldn't risk not being able to see another rock.. I had my glasses on when I hit it, but I didn't have my headlamp angled downward - didn't know it could move. so I ran with my glasses. hah.
my last split .. check out the GAP time, hah. GAP time takes into account elevation .. so that was ~5:47 pace over 1.25 normal, and like ~5:2X pace over 1.25 GAP. sick. lool.
movin.
