what's that about registering with british athletics? the open meets at lee valley cost six pounds per event. i don't know where you are in the UK but it's worth traveling to race. you'll never be in as good shape as you hope to be, and that's fine! i did two races on my recent trip in crap conditions because there's no replacement, even as a training tool, for competition against other people. could i have done better if i'd trained more, hadn't flown 7,000 miles one way and then 7,000 miles another way, been able to keep running consistently on the road, etc.? yes. doesn't matter, still beyond happy with myself for at least trying.

you can do it!

when are you gonna race, man? like, find an open meet and race? for example: https://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/content/cms/outdoors/athletics-centre/competition-entry-forms/sprints-meetings/

it's about measurement, but even more than that it's about learning. at the meets i went to a few years ago, i impressed exactly no one with my times. but i chatted to a couple of fast people who were impressed simply that i'd decided to try to get faster as an adult, entirely on my own, and test myself. that's what you're doing, too. if i'd decided to keep trying to get faster at sprinting, instead of realizing that sprinting was one in a long line tangents distracting me away from jumping, i'd have followed up with a couple of those people. hobbyists love sharing their hobby.

niiiice and easy, 5:29 average pace. felt good. getting occasional shooting pains in my calves and feet now, though, which is not great. did some SMR and stretching, hope it just goes away.

yeah but you can't fly right into iten, it's little. you fly to NBO and then get there overland probably.

what i'm saying is, doooo iiiit.

round-trip tickets from miami to nairobi are less than $800 for september/october on turkish, which is a decent airline. $1000 on qatar, which is the best airline. just sayin'.
