Track & Field / potomac valley track club wins 2015 national masters championships!
« on: May 18, 2015, 09:51:07 am »
The club whose events I raced at a couple of times last year just one the 2015 national masters T&F championships, beating out SoCal (suck it T0ddday) for the gold!
Look at the list of PVTC's individual and relay winners and do two things: (1) bow before the superior dedication of your elders and (2) take inspiration from the fact that you never, ever have to stop training hard and trying to get better. even when you're 90.
PVTC's team won the 2015 USATF Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships, held March 20-22 at JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem NC.
Our team scored 682 total points, ahead of Southern California (SoCal) Track Club's 648. Our gold medal winners:
The 90-99 4x800 is the first one ever fielded, as far as they know. That is insane. People older than my living grandparents. Who cares that it was at a pace that for me would be a fast walk?!? That is insane! They're in their NINETIES!

haha even with five whole minutes of rest between each 60 and each set of plyos that doesn't work unless the warm up is like 50 minutes. or maybe it's counting the time to get to and from the track?

very annoyed that i did not get to the gym today. was gf's fault, was too pissed to actually talk to her about it today because it would have just been a pointless fight. will deal later in the week. anyway did 7dvjc and stretched tonight so as not to end the weekend with nothing.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee pulling weirdly during tempo, see below
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
jog to track, bit more than half-mile
- broad jump x 3
best <9'
- DL bound x 4,4,4
first and third right at 36', second well short
- tempo sprint x 200,200
walk 200 rest. something in my right knee started pulling at itself right away so i stopped prematurely. meant to do 4-5 reps but it felt wrong. similar feeling to what i had every few workouts last year. the discomfort comes on the recovery of my right leg, i.e. as my knee coming from behind up in front of me. vexing. need to investigate.
- stretch
my engine is weak. doing some track work and easy jogging can only be good if i can get the knee thing figured out.
not so worried about the broad jump and DL bounds, those will improve quickly as i haven't done them in eight months. at least i was getting farther per jump on the bounds than on the single jump.

« on: May 14, 2015, 09:39:25 am »how can you be better at pull ups than dips? i can do like 2-3x as many dips as pull ups. and you have long arms!
i've always been very bad at dips.. for most of my life i couldn't even do them.. then finally i got 'strong' and eventually got up to 15-20 or so iirc. i've always been good at pullups (and most "pulls") though. I'm naturally better at deadlifting than squatting, rowing than pressing, etc.
right now, i'm doing neutral grip so those are much easier than pronated grip.. maybe that is to blame slightly.
pC!
bodies are so interesting. i think if i completely detrained for a year i could still do 10 dips.

First time I’ve ever done a full squat clean. Was mildly impressed at my ability to hit myself in the face with the bar with 50kgs on it.

@raptor: maybe try distracting yourself while you run? if you don't want to listen to music (i don't like listening to music while i run, generally), try multiplying big numbers together or try to figure out all the words you can make out of the letters of a long word. your body knows how to run if you let it, i bet.

Coges's journal reminded me that I'm slacking on my Feldenkrais practice. Gotta get that in a couple times a week. Feet, ankles, hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and neck could all benefit.
