is it me or do I look like i've gotten "bigger"? lol.

From "Loco Rio":
For only doing hills basically the week prior, I handle them really well. I mean I was crushing them, up and down. I actually went harder up, than down. I pushed it hard on the uphill, played it more safe on the steep downhill, then pushed it hard on the safe downhills. Whatever, i'm a beast sometimes.
That Andrew Moore dude is pretty fast: 3:03 marathon in Miami, which is a VERY slow marathon according to everyone. So he's fast over the longer distances, and decent over shorter. Probably needs more speed work.
But ya, apparently him and I crushed everyone, speed-wise.
We both had the mindset of: not letting a single competitor pass us, for the entire day. Success. lol.
I'd like to make the olympic trials in something eventually, even though i'm not getting any younger
The girl on the far left (Andrea - she's the one who I posted about before), has a 2:57 full marathon. I think she could make the marathon olympic trials eventually, which is <= 2:45:00. She's no joke, I think she'll make an insane amount of progress in the coming years.

women's team:
A few of the Loco Rio guys hinted to me about that "elite group" they are creating. I think they really want me to be involved. But respectably, they also mentioned, "we aren't just going to recruit people who don't run with the group. we want to put together an 'elite group', but we also want them to be apart of our run community etc, do training sessions with everyone .. doesn't have to be every session but enough to be apart of the community". Stuff like that.
I planned on going to their track session last week .. couldn't wake up early enough. This week I planned to try again, it's on Wednesday, and I wanted to do their long run on Saturday as well - which has other people from "Runner's Depot" involved. They have an "elite team" as well.
I really like being a longer, but I also like training with driven people.. so we'll see.

Sunday was an epic day for Loco Rio. At the Vista View 360 6 hour relay our men's and women's teams both not only claimed victory, but did so in dominant fashion.
The men's team of Scott Russell, Andrew Moore, Andrew Darqui, and Tom Pinkerton completed 44 laps (54.6 miles) and beat the second place team by 5 laps (6.2 miles). The team was led by an unstoppable 1-2 punch of Andrew Darqui and Andrew Moore who were the two fastest runners on the course for the day. This was the second straight year the men took home the championship.
The women's team of Andrea Cadavid, Julie West, Katy Kalian, and Leigh Kamens were equally impressive and completed 38 laps (47.1 miles) beating the second place team by 2 laps (2.5 miles). They were one lap off of tying the course record and we will have our sights on equaling or topping that mark in 2019.
The men's B team of Marcus Harrington, Josh Long, Justin Miller, and Douglas Janes engaged in a battle royale with 2 other teams for 2nd place. It was a back and forth affair with the 3 teams exchanging the lead all day. The 3 teams all finished the day with 39 laps (48.4 miles) and the Locos ended up in 4th place 1:13 behind 2nd place and 11 seconds behind 3rd place.
There is no better time to officially announce that Loco Rio will be launching a performance initiative this week. Details will follow in the next couple of days, but they will include qualifying standards for the Pronghorn Racing team, weekly midweek morning track workouts at Carter Park, and a long run on Saturday mornings from Runner's Depot Ft Lauderdale that will include the option of an easy paced run or a different long tempo run each week for intermediate to advanced runners.
Whether your goal is breaking 30 minutes in the 5k or making the Olympic trials we want to be a part of the process. Loco veterans we hope to see more of you and if you haven't "gone Loco" we hope to see you out at one of our 3 weekly runs.
