🎉 5k PR: 16:57!
Massive 48 second PR from 2 months ago. It’s still sinking in that I hit this goal, especially in humid conditions.
It took everything I had, including a 77 second kick for the last 400m to bring it under 17.
I put in the work, prayed, and we got it done ✝️

We did it! 4:58 on the mile at my first ever track meet. 🥈🥇
The sun came out minutes before the race, absolutely melting us on the line.
I kept it in control due to lack of oxygen in the air & knew it would come down to the kick (splits in pics)
2nd in the mile, 1st in 3k!

Milledge Mile: 4:48
10 second PR from my first ever mile 4 weeks ago!
A road race mile is a reckless, throw caution to the wind, event.
The front group went out at a 62 second 400m, and I knew I needed to back off to contend!
Couldn’t quite close the gap, but learned a lot!

There’s something special about getting to the last lap in a 1600m.
Mile 25 in a marathon.
2 miles into a 5k.
You get to a place mentally where you have to make decisions while at your worst, in the deepest pain, feeling sorry for yourself.
I’m excited for that tonight 🔥

Title defense - unsuccessful 🥉
I managed to get across the line first on the day, but due to a staggered start, it was good enough for 3rd on the day.
I passed 🥇 on the run, but didn’t put enough time into him due to serious side stitches.

I think it's a platform for engagement on any topic you seek.
If you engage with political memes, videos, etc, it will think you like it and show you more.
Engaging means you clicked, watched, or stopped scrolling to view it.

But I also want to share about:

Once I realized I sure don’t like running marathons, there was no reason to consider running a 50k. If I don’t want to run a 50k, then I sure don’t want to run a 50 mile’r. Once I decide against ever running 50 miles, I sure as hell never want to do 100 miles 😂
💪 If you can run a marathon then you can run a 50k. If you can run a 50k, then you can run a 50 miler. Once you complete a 50 miler, you sure as hell can do 100 miles.
So stop doubting yourself and make the dam leap! You can do more than you realize. Stop letting "what if"

With inflammation in the knee from the bike crash, as always, my rule with injury is that as long as it’s not making it worse, keep going.

With lots of hard work, I can shave my 10k from a 36 > 35 min.
With a moderate amount of hard work, I can shave 3 minutes off my 40k bike split.
With easy, consistent work, I can shave 4 minutes off my 1500m swim.
Remaining season goal: focus on low-hanging fruits. 🍉

Hardware collected for the AGP (age group to pro) triathlon squad.
Felt flat on the day, quite literally, when I learned I rode 40 watts higher than my friend and only beat him by 1 second on the bike.

I’m not gonna namedrop pro triathletes, but I’m certain that some have 120ms HRV and some sit at 45ms, and everything in btwn.
I think HRV, like heart rate, is a strong PERSONAL indicator of your recovery, but gets overblown, like low resting HR.
20+ off normal=you’re tired.
