I love me some fartlek. The 7-mile fartlek, which I ran this morning, is my favorite workout with the Gazelles. So much so, that I”m going to write one of those boring accounts of my workout. I don’t know why I like fartlek so much, maybe because with all those easy 1 minute legs to […]
1. So I don’t actually do “endurance” races. It was literary expedience. 2. This stuff I’m writing about is really dull. 3. Perhaps I fade due to nutrition issues.
If I’m going to compete in “endurance” events like triathlons and road races, I should probably build up some … oh, I don’t know … endurance. In every race I compete in, I fade at the end; it doesn’t matter the distance. From the half-marathon to the 10K to the sprint triathlon to the downhill […]
I did the CapTexTri on Memorial Day. It was my first Sprint distance triathlon, though I did 3 shorter distance tris last summer. I was hoping to have done better, finished faster, competed harder, etc., but the open water 1/2 mile swim in Town Lake just destroyed me and my race. I got out in […]
Almost as fast as I took them down, someone wrote in to ask me to put them back up, so they’re back. If you don’t know what “they” are, you probably don’t need them. Enjoy, but don’t expect me to support them (unless you ask nicely).
[UPDATE]The cpanel stuff and statrat are back.[/UPDATE] There used to be a bunch of crappy php scripts on this site. I took them down. Here’s why… 1. They were crappy. 2. They were time-consuming to support. 3. They were crappy. 4. They were time-consuming to support. First, the crappiness. I learned PHP in 2001 in […]
As I mentioned previously, I raced in the Congress Avenue Mile last Saturday. As the name suggests, it’s a one-mile race down …. Congress Avenue. I say “down” and I literally mean “down”, as the course is nearly all downhill, which makes for some really fast times. I can’t believe I’m about to type this, […]
I ran in the Congress Avenue Mile on Saturday. Secretly hoping to run a sub 5:00 minute mile, I came in at 5:11. Well, the official posted results say 5:19, but Jessica and I both clearly saw the clock read 5:11 when I crossed, so that’s what I’m going with. Sure, the race is almost […]
