as it stands right now, worthy of applause. :goodjobbro:

I mean, we knew he would be at least decent .. but you gave him some seriously high praise and he's living up to it already. :highfive: :goodjobbro:

Futbol (soccer) / Re: 2018 World Cup Qualifiers
« on: November 16, 2017, 03:51:40 pm »
Australia has made the World Cup!!!

sick!!

Quote
Junior participation rates for soccer are fairly strong in Australia but honestly it's literally behind rugby league, AFL, and cricket in terms of popularity. Ivory Coast, Italy and the Netherlands all missing out is a huge shock as Ivory Coast are an African heavyweight and Italy and the Netherlands have traditionally always been dominant forces in world soccer.

yup!

As of right now, my only main team is France.

I'll be rooting for Mexico and Iceland as well :D Not sure who else.. but I love the underdogs so, on a match by match basis, I usually go for all of the underdogs, except when it comes to France & the US (the US is pretty much always an underdog tho :) )

I wish kyrie would start to train for explosiveness over summer.... that plus vegan diet.... he would be like a russell westbrook with much more finesse... would be even more unstoppable....

actually steph is slowly becoming a russell with finesse, he seem to have gotten faster/strong than before

westbrook is vegan?

not sure what vegan has to do with it? most olympic athletes aren't vegan, for example. so it's not like some guaranteed performance booster. if it was, every athlete would be vegan.. when something gives athletes an edge, they flock to it.

november 13

- hike x 6 hours
not sure of distance. elevation gain was at least 1100m/3600' and topped out above 3300m/11,000'. it was steep.

november 14

- hike x 6 hours
partway across a glacier and back and then back down. distance about 2km longer than day one but the glacier part was sloooow going. combo of dicey weather and difficult visibility on the glacier meant we cut the trek off a night early.

november 15
- walking up and down hills and stairs x a lot
soleus quite sore. calves and quads also.

what a rad trip. i walked on a glacier at 11,000 feet above sea level. that's a lifetime first.

whoa..... sounds ridiculous.

astonished at the first 5 - kept getting faster.

didn't feel like I was getting faster per split .. kinda odd.. don't recall this happening much. I mean I was just relaxing, felt slower than 8:XX that's for sure, but also didn't feel like I was getting faster. So just interesting and surprising when I saw the data.

Obviously I don't feel sorry for the guy since he's in the NBA literally making millions but surely he'd be thinking to himself that he wishes his dad would just shut the fuck up!!!

I posted a video of his dad a couple weeks ago. The media and commentators love his dad because they just clown on him and his dad loves the attention even if people are taking the piss out of him- No such thing as bad publicity...

i absolutely hate that mentality his dad has.. willing to go out there and let people clown on him, so juvenile.

Quote
Simmons is a beast though. If he can remain injury free he has a great shot at winning ROY but it's still early days yet. I'd love to see the 76ers make the playoffs since fans haven't had much to cheer about ever since Iverson left.

yup.

FWIW, FDL been calling it on the sixers for a while, hah.

7437
I may opt in too, but will see if there is any easy way around to getting 1 rep  :ninja:

i might actually try it when i get my leanest.. feels more possible mentally, the lighter i get. My potential cheat code.. :D

i'll probably beat everyone to it, just because of the crazy light/lean cheat code.. lmfao.

seems scary to try it, but less scary today (as opposed to months prior, or last year etc).. relative strength confidence.

i dno .. all i know is, this is what can happen when you let your mouth do the talking, and not your game.

It puts too much pressure on most people.. Most elite athletes buckle under that pressure, only a select few can pull it off. So you have an overzealous father adding pressure atop pressure, and these kids are going to crack unless they are forged from steel, which they probably aren't.

It'll most likely be a lesson to parents everywhere, other than the "fame from it", it's like a loud mouth parent in a rec league.. It usually doesn't end well.

I've brought it up a ton of times, but this is another reason why Floyd Mayweather is so impressive to me. Not only did he talk the biggest game & put the weight of the world against him, he backed it up every time. That's so rare in sport that it's hard to even mention another athlete who has pulled it off. Every "big talker" eventually gets owned. The sad thing is, Lonzo doesn't really talk much.. The youngest seems to be the cockiest of the three. It really all comes back to the father. He needs to disappear for a long while.

pC!

This guy is becoming one of my favourite players to watch. Doesn't hurt that Simmons and Embid are going ok as well.

ya man he's smooth.. nice relaxed j's with crazy range/accuracy. fun to watch.

Also Simmons is ballin`.. dude is LEGIT.

Race planning!!

5k on Saturday. Last year got third overall. So weather should be decent I imagine: 69F & ~30% chance of rain apparently. 69F = good weather to go hard.

Day before:
- early morning very light run (~6 miles), fajitas early, early evening very light ~1 mile.

Last year's 5k:
- 2016 it was held in September
- 2017 held in November (rescheduled due to hurricane Irma)
- https://www.strava.com/activities/707020707

2016 splits:
- 6:03, 6:18, 6:37, 6:51 (0.1)

So needless to say, slow race overall. This year I don't expect anyone crazy to show up, because tomorrow is the Flanagan 10k which is a huge race, prize money + pros etc. You never know though..

This course is basically, 0.2 miles slow loop, 1.5 miles heading north, and 1.4 miles heading south. I think my strategy will be to go my hardest with the wind, so, whichever direction that's blowing, change my strategy to accommodate that a bit. Sounds funny but, it works out in my favor either way:
- moderate 0.2, hard initial 1.5, moderate finish 1.4
- moderate 0.2, moderate 1.5, hard finish 1.4
- i'd love to keep my moderate pace under 6:00 min/mi this race, so I need to look at my watch more, and i've never gotten three sub 5 splits, so that's a goal of mine eventually. Need to get closer to knocking that out.

If it's hard initial 1.5:
- going to try and maintain <= 5:25 for 1.5
- try and maintain 5:59 1.4

If it's hard finish 1.4:
- try and relax, maintaining 5:59 for 1.4
- going to try and maintain <= 5:40 for 1.5

If there's a side wind, who knows. lmfao. I'll still pick one of them.

If someone fast shows up, strategy is basically out the window.. I think it'll be similar to last year though, so that's why i'm coming up with two strategies, just in case it's me "dictating" the race.

Anyway, hoping it's the first option .. would rather try and gun it early, because it's better preparation for the next two 5k's on the 23rd and 25th, which are very fast.

peace!!
