Went to the Flanigan's Rockin Rib Run 10k today, but just to spectate & absorb some eliteness.

Got some really cool shots & witnessed a world record .. Kevin Castille got a 10km road world record in the 45-49 age group, hit 29:51 (4:49 pace). Guy who won it hit 29:21 (4:44 pace)

Castille almost didn't make it.. He was completely destroyed. Legs were collapsing. Here he is afterwards:



Here's a few more clips.

When I first got there.. I actually love this shot:



The initial pack @ ~0.5 mi:



The pack dwindled down to 4 @ ~2.5 mi:



The pack dwindled down to 2 @ ~5 mi:



And finally, Tommy Curtin winning it out in the end, on his way to a 29:21 (4:44 pace):



Check these times for the top 5 male/female athletes .. This is a FAST race for South Florida:



peace!!

So i'm going to go to the Flanagan 10k after all, but not running. Going just to watch, take some photos, etc.

I randomly found some elite marathoner (~2:12 PB I think) who is going to be racing there, a 10k tune up before the US Marathon Championships.. It's not too far away, how could I not go and check this out?





This dude trains with CHELIMO..............

Man i'm going to get there early af and absorb some shit.

ya man that was a close call.. saw that last night and cringed, could have been very bad.

consistency PR's usually precede max PR's, so that's definitely a good sign.

- 12-minute test: 2.10  :personal-record: (+0.04?)
- 3 miles: 17:18 :personal-record: (-?)

RECAP:

Coral Springs 5k: 2nd overall. Official 5k PR (18:05) :personal-record:, First sub-18 (17:51) :personal-record: watch estimated 5k, First 3 consecutive sub-6 mile splits {5:33.9,5:50.9,5:54.2}. :personal-record: PR CITY.

Awesome race. It was basically me leading for ~1.7, with two dudes right behind. I surged every time they tried to come even with me, to make sure I stayed in front. By 1.7 (turn around), the guy who got 1st overall took the lead, and I mostly stayed right behind or basically even, occasionally trying to test him with some surges. He outkicked me at the end. I mistimed my kick, should have done it a little later. As soon as I started to kick, he kicked and had lots of power around the turn. I should have waited until we got around the turn to just try and go full sprint, would have given me a better chance I think. Lesson learned.

This was basically my first hard 3.1 of the year, so i'm happy with it. Going to be hard to repeat this next race, because it's the "turkey trot" which has some insanely fast guys, and the goal is to keep up with them for 2 miles so, probably going to be a bit wrecked by 2 miles. But I needed to put in an effort like this today so that I could be more prepared to grind it out in these upcoming races, which are very fast.

Looking to PR my 2 miles/cooper's test in the next two races. I mean if I can hang on after that and keep it up, I will .. but the goal is always to push it hard from the onset & push my first two mile splits way down.



EDIT: Oh also! Motorcycle cops lead the entire way .. I love that. It really amps me up more for some reason. Just the sounds of the bikes & the intensity of them trying to make sure we're safe etc, spazzing out on motorists & pedestrians who have no clue what's going on or are trying to "violate" the rules etc.. When you're in the lead/lead pack, it's more intense because there's nothing in front of you, other than cops in this instance.. So they have to make sure no cars are trying to cut through, or people are trying to cross the street etc.. The only thing that sucks about it, is the fumes.. You can definitely smell more fumes.

I tried to "buzz the tower" (I call it) and almost caught one of the cops slipping.. Was right behind him almost about to get even with him before he noticed and floored it to get space. haha. I did that on one of my surges.



data:









strategy:

Based on my strategy from a few days ago, I went with the "go hard from the onset" version. Wind was coming in from the side, so no issue there. Figured i'd try to drop everyone from the onset, but two dudes held on for a while, then it played out like I mentioned above.



My head after the race:





Someone took this photo and came up to me/the winner, and texted us both a finish line photo.. that was awesome. Otherwise, I may not get one, because these events usually have "poor" photography/social media.





I have a few more of me in them, about to post to IG.



I tell you what.. i'm amazed when I don't see people congratulate each other when they get to the "medal ceremony" .. like in the age groups, overall, etc.. It happens alot. First thing I do is make sure to shake the other competitor's hands.. IDGAF about anything else until I did that. The dude who won was incredible nice & positive, we are now friends on FB. We talked a bit during the 2nd half of the race.. He also runs with a (crossfit) club, who had tons of people there, and they all were cheering for him as we came back down the second half. He responded to every single one of them by waving/saying thanks etc. I do that same thing.. Seems like a very good dude. Third place dude was a 14 year old, got to stay on our game, he's gong to be fast.. lool.



me getting dusted:





Anyway, happy.

Not pushing myself as hard as last year, is paying off.. I mean, I want to be more easily hitting these paces, not killing myself to do so.. I should be killing myself to hit consecutive sub 5's etc. So, by focusing more on relaxation/less guts, it's making me focus more on other things like, total mileage, lots of slow relaxed running, better speed sessions, etc.. Obviously i'm going to have to push it every mile at some point, like I did today, but the overall mindset is to get faster without killing myself. I want it to be easy......... So maybe that means putting in 100+ miles per week, 90% of which are light, etc.. Figuring that out, is a key part of the equation.

peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME WORK BROTHER!!!!

 :personal-record: NATION!

Can't wait to hear of the details  :highfive:

Yo thanks so much man!!!

Yup about to post some details now.

What's crazy is how good I felt afterwards, and still feel.. my legs felt like rubberbands today, dunk-level bounciness. Also just lifting my foot onto a bench to tie my shoe, felt like my leg had no weight.

I'm definitely learning how to do what I did with dunking, but now with running. For peak performance, it's all about creating some fatigue and rebounding out of it.. I mean Wednesday night I could barely hit 5:30 min/mi pace, CNS was so toast. Today I hit 5:33 like it was nothing, for my first mile. My work capacity is way up because of these double sessions and all of the long light running, so i'm able to rebound hard after ~2 days rest. Might be able to rebound even more off of 3 days rest etc, need to experiment with it. I'll experiment more with that in 2018.

Ok going to post some details!
