Study Sunday
Posted on February 24, 2008
I just finished yet another paper, and I deserve a break. So, I thought I would post a little something up on the old double a dot kuh. Indoors is still kicking…
I went to indoors this morning, there was a race series (RSO). I reff’d. It was fun. Nothing too eventful…. but I ran a last-man out race afterwards. That was actually alot of fun. Big ups to Jacky Shu for busting heads with the boys up front, until his complete exhaustion! I hope he had fun with it. If he was going for a good placement, he would probably want to avoid so much of the movement in the pack, and try and settle in towards the front, but somewhere where there wasn’t so much scrapping. Sometimes when guys raelly don’t want you in front of them, you’re better off giving up the spot. …Sometimes. Keep fighting Shu-Man! (that really sounds like a he-man character… “Jitsu” was the guy with the golden karate-chop hand)…
Then I ran a double pyramid (no stops).
In teams of three (keeping the work to rest ratio at 1:2) we ran sets as follows:
(5×1lap)+(1×2laps)+(1×3laps)+(1×4laps)+(1×5laps)+(1×4laps)+(1×3laps)+(1×2laps)+(5×1lap)+(3×2laps)+(1×3laps)+(3×2laps)+(5×1lap)
It was awesomely intense, and the whole thing was QUALITY speed. (IMPORTANT). Really, I think that was one of the best runs we’ve done this year. Good exchanges too! :)
One bad exchange with two laps to go saw my team (myself, Sarah Hopkins, Eric Maas) move from first to second in the dying laps giving the upset win to the team of Jesse Pauley, Scott Pauley, and Jacky Shu. Damn. We had it in the bag too.
On a side note, I wish Andrew Hegarty a speedy recovery. I found out this morning that he broke his arm/wrist at last Wednesday’s practice. Swift heals, B.
In keeping with the theme of late, he is a picture from Quito, Ecuador from 1997:
You can see me moving up on the inside, with Derek Downing doing the same on the outside. This would have been the points race. It would be DD taking the 500m final. Story to follow there, again. At the good old back, you can see Peter “the pumpkin eater” Doucet hanging on with grinding teeth. I think one of the the Columbians in this race is Jaime Arcila. You can see Jonathan Webster in the yellow/red Rollerblade helmet, once considered one of the coolest helmets around. I remember that the Chileans in these Champs were super strong also…
Hello to Sandra! Now that I know you read this every once in a while, I just wanted to fit in a quick note to say that I love you. :) …oh, and you’re super cute. I finished my paper! I will study for a few hours, then watch Breaking Bad.
By the way, to everyone: that show is awesome.
