Nacho vs Clary in the Family Fun Day 5k + 1 mile combo.. Would love to see that.

Family Fun Day 5k + 1 mile is one of the fastest races around. Also has prize money. Would love to see these two go at it.. they both have IAAF profiles:

holy shit @ GORDON.. WTF.

missed it. what happened?

nasty dribbling + drive + pass to whatshisface for the dunk.

Gordon is going off.

Oh also .. huge " ". I beat Sonja Friend-Uhl in a race. She's a monster. Has (or has had) world records, american records etc. She's beaten me in 4 races, 3 pretty easily. Almost got her in the Boca mile last year.

Anyway, getting a W against her is a solid sign of progress. She is always in shape, always a beast, knows how to grind out wins & hunt people down etc. I was hurting by 2 miles but, remembered she's in the race so, conserved some energy to make sure to have alot in the tank when she catches up with me.

Didn't see her.. Checked over shoulder a few times.. Still didn't see her. Then bam, feel her coming up on me, catch a glimpse, and turn on the boosters. I kicked it into overdrive a bit and she was still gaining on me, so then kicked it in hard & finished with that <= 5 min/mi pace for 0.13 to separate and get the W. In all, probably had to hold on for ~0.5 mi.

She wanted to catch me, you could tell.. She's so competitive.. sees me straggling, figures she could catch me and drop another dude.. But, I was ready... LMFAO.

So, i'm 1-4 now..

Feels really good tbh ... Getting a W against her is solid. She dropped 17:17 last month in a 5k... So she's always tough. She will probably end up going sub17 again this year & has already gone sub5 for the mile on the track, this year. Extending her American Record I think, oldest female sub5.. something like that.

I was legit happy af about this development

She also wrote this on IG after I congratulated her:

@andrewdarqui Thank you! I wish I was able to hold my pace better so we could have ran together the 2nd half. You ran well! 😊

"we could have ran together for the 2nd half" aka "me (sonja) crush you (adarqui)". LMAO.

She might be the most popular racer/runner in the tri-county area, everyone knows her. She's been dominating the area for 20+ years.

She was also USATF athlete of the week a few months ago..

She was 7th OA and 1st female. I think she's got like nearly 20 1st female finishes in this race, in the 20 years she's done it...

word! more W's comin!

need to figure out how to catch this Nacho guy.. fu*k.

hamstrings were really dead towards the end.. I mean that's probably a good thing. hill "sprints" with fatigue (such a long duration), really wore them out. Need to be careful with it but, worked them good.



some raw photos I found, today's race & Mother's Day 5k!


















kewl!
