there are several other PR's.. but, i'm also going to list my "official splits" (as I saw them on the road signs):
- mile 1 marker: 5:08   <-- would be a more impressive 1-mile PR
- mile 2 marker: 10:55 <-- would be first sub-11 for 2 miles

strava PR's:
- 1-mile: 5:15 (-3s)
- 5k: 18:16 (-8s)
- 2-mile: 11:19 (-8s?)

- vo2max (cooper's test): 64.25 mL/(kg·min) (+ ~2)




Race recap: went out fast.. but, didn't feel too fast.. when I saw the first mile marker, I literally saw: 4:55 on it as I was approach, which made me go holy shit.. had no idea I was going low 5's.. I was tied for the lead until about 1.25 mi or so.. then I kinda just collapsed mentally like a bitch.. dno what's wrong with me. I wasn't really DEAD, I just started slowing down and allowed it.. then #3 & #4 passed me eventually and I turned into #4.. didn't battle at all to hang with them.

As I was approaching the 2-mile mark I saw sub-11 and sped up a bit to make sure I hit sub-11 .. I passed it around 10:55, which made me feel amazing... but then I plugged my garmin in and my data says 11:19, so that sucks.





Regardless.. still happy.. but annoyed with myself that I didn't hang on better mentally. I should have at least really tried to keep up with the new #2/#3 guys, they were running at like 5:40 pace :/ .. leader went on to run like 5:27 pace.

The guy who won came up to me after and told me "you had me worried for a bit" .. which is cool but annoying.. I want to have him worrying until the end then win it with a kick.

Session: Evening

6:30 PM

speed: fartlek style intervals with short walking rest
- used my arms better when fatigued, helped

forgot to use my lap key properly, initially.. eek.

since I didn't push myself to the max earlier during the race (crapped out in mile 2 & 3), I figured I would push myself again tonight.. I'm resting tomorrow so, should be fine.

so basically, I ran a hard 1.x miles, then walked when I felt I needed too - for a short period, then ran again.. repeat. I tried to keep the paces really fast. The goal was to make sure all of my actual running was at or faster than goal race pace.

pretty tough workout.

feel pretty good, other than my feet and some of these mosquito bites.. hoping this day of rest actually helps my feet quite a bit by the time i wake up/run tomorrow.

tomorrow morning's race should be fast.. I think it's only 1 turn !!!!! if so, that's pretty epic..

really shooting for 17:XX's tomorrow (especially with 1 turn, should be possible).

oh, it's also going to be pretty cool I think..... ~65 F.. 

only question is.. will i be able to sleep? heh.  hope so.. feel pretty tired right now but..

hopefully i can bring home some more hardware for my mom tomorrow .. love seeing her face when I tell her I won.. hah.




after December, I need to take a week off or something....... HEH!!!!!!

pc!!

they aren't lying, kid is nice.. very powerful acceleration especially after his crossovers.

ya i think westbrook has the best chance given his role on the Thunder now.. he's having an incredible season so far.  He's on a mission to prove himself and probably wants to figure out how to beat GSW in the playoffs...... 

ever since GSW got Durant, every game I watch, deep down I hope they lose.. lmfao.

<- "hater" maybe.. or they are just too stacked. This is probably the feeling every1 had when Lebron went to the heat.

btw.. LEBRON.

that's like every nba player's (and every1 elses) dream method of winning a game..

epic

wow.... this looks like it could have been lethal.
