damn that sounds like a fun & tough course lmfao. good work!

i like to just relax on the downhill, ie not trying to accelerate, not trying to slow down, just right there in the middle letting gravity do the work. so i go harder uphill, neutral downhill.

and ya, shins/quads/knees can get wrecked going too fast downhill. you don't really feel the affects of it at the time, but later on in the race you def can, and certainly the next day(s).

pc!

RJ Barrett sucks and it's ludicrous that he got the ball at the end of the game. Per some guy on Twitter: "Duke lost three games with Zion Williamson in the lineup this year. RJ Barrett went ***0-for-9*** in the final minute of those three games. The rest of the team had three total shots. Zion had one."

teh fuq. barrett doesn't suck. he's a beast. he's one of the best players in college basketball.

he might have struggled at the end of some of those games mentioned, but i'm sure his stat-line for each of those games was a reason why Duke was even in them.

Zion isn't aggressive enough to demand the ball every play at the end. He reminds me of Lebron in that respect - he likes to dish the ball out early, and sometimes stay out of the play entirely.

i'm not sure of Barrett's numbers in that Mich St / Duke game but i'm sure they were solid - he had a great first half.

both zion & barrett had career highs in turnovers. they also suck at free throws.

zion caught the college basketball flu unfortunately (shot too many threes).

mich st's PG is impressive, had himself an incredible game.

pc!



PS: ok now can't wait for NBA2020 - ZION2020.

Im probably running a small 5K event this Sunday but not prepared at all for it.
So unless i find other events, it will be just a personal battle until October. FML.
Goals until end of July : 25-ish 5K at my course ( which reflects to ~23-ish race ) - sub-hour 10K  - 4'30'' 1km split.

you do the 5k today?

hopefully the hamstrings healed up a bit more lol, racing with sore hamstrings (and especially quads) sucks.

rest + occasional (intense) stretching + a few slow sessions.

very light: 1h10m ::: grass

These announcers complaining about the "one and done era" drives me nuts. These scumbags are profiting off of these players, and want to see the NBA step in and make it harder for these kids to get a job - aka leave early and make $$$.

RIP duke.

damn.. so many mistakes / turnovers. and their free throw shooting comes back to haunt them.

i was worried about barrett/zion getting the ball at the end because of the freethrow shooting issues. Would have been nice to see Tre get it, drive, and create / maybe get fouled. Even if Duke tied it up, Mich St was playing great.

and damn @ that barrett intentional miss that went in.. zion was right there. if that thing was coming off the rim, he would have gotten it.

Tre emotional af at the end.

ZION having an awful first half, damn. sloppy fouls, lots of bad passes etc.

i imagine he'll have a crazy 2nd half. if he doesn't tho, duke is in trouble.

barrett always steps up, solid first half.

Auburn / Kentucky was solid. Auburn's PG is fast as fu*k.

Auburn beat Kansas, NC, and Kentucky to get into the final 4.. that's major.

thanks guys. she'd spent a few nights staying a friend's place and we met up for breakfast this morning. it was a bit awkward at first but ultimately really good. wise of her to get away for a bit and give us both some space. hopefully this'll just be a painful bump that we look back on as a time when we learned something important about each other.

good to hear man.

Edwards has realized that he is completely unstoppable.

im losing it.

this kid Edwards is nuclear.

so much speed to the rim.. nasty pull up J from anywhere on the court - including 15 feet behind the 3 pt line wtf?

hope Purdue wins, want to see more of Edwards in this tournament.



Guy is lighting it up as well, but he doesn't have as much athleticism as Edwards to create space (guy is very athletic but Edwards is like AI/D-Rose athletic).. Guy is lights out if you give him an inch. Edwards creates several feet of space and is lights out.

best game i've seen in a while.
