Nice work, looking forward to the sub 19 update!

Great job. Funny how when you reach one goal, you immediately think...gee, I think i know how I can go faster. I'm still waiting for the race where I feel like I completely paced it perfectly, executed perfectly and left it all out there on the course. I've come close twice this year, but think I still could have paced it better and gone faster. It's easy to forget the dozens of little things that went really really well that could have ruined your race.

Awesome!

I started training in December, and one of the first things I did was a 5 km TT: 32:30. I think I sprinted the first 400m and the last couple of km were very unpleasant.

By April I was down to sub 25.

Not sure where I am now, but it's definitely not sub 20 yet. Kudos!

Nicely done! I've yet to get back under 20, but it's a goal once I stop doing all these long distance races.


So true, what the hell is wrong with us?

Excellent!

savor the joy of your accomplishment (I should take my own advice by the way :-| ). Too many people don't take stock and appreciate what they got - or in this case have earned.

Enjoy the journey to your next goal, because as you've just discovered, the joy of an accomplishment; while wonderful, is fleeting. But, the journey to get there is usually not easy and in fact is why we do this stuff, for if it was easy, everybody would be doing it and we'd find something else that was hard.

and I'm not even a philosophy major. Maybe I should get a job as a philosopher, does that pay well?

F-n-A, that's the right attitude! Sub-19 is around the corner.

Nice work OP

Great job

I have pushed a double stroller with grandkids the last few years and have always run a sub 20. Will see if I can do it one more time this year pushing the double stroller again.

Best back handed compliment of all time.

Sound off about your training approach. Some of us want to replicate the awesome.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

I have always been of the opinion kids hold you back from your true potential, thank you for reassuring me of that.

Awesome!

Nah, forward hand. I am actually more proud of pushing my oldest granddaughter in a single stroller at 57 in April for a Half Marathon in 1:28. :o)

I've made some significant running gains since having a son 10 months ago. I figure its because I'm now pushing him in the stroller, so I've modified my stride to be "more horizontally focused." In other words - rather than bobbing up and down like I was before, I'm now 'pushing' more forward as I run to maintain the same cadence with the stroller. Then when I take away the stroller, I'm more used to the forward motion. Plus, the extra weight going up hills can't hurt either...

You are an inspiration. I say that in all honesty.

Interesting. I do not push enough to get those benefits but I agree.

Your son will remember you pushing him for life. My grandkids talk about it all the time and cannot wait until the next race when I do it again. My oldest granddaughter is even talking
about doing a triathlon with me now and she is only 4. So amazing what they pick up when you do things with them.

Well done. It's a big deal to go sub-20!! Congratulations!

-Eric

Nice!

Congrats, that is a HUGE improvement.
Forget sub-19 that is basically in the bag anyway. You should shoot for 17:22, and cut the original time in half :-)

If I ever break 20 minutes again I'm going to put a "3.1" sticker on my car.

Find out what it is in life that you don't do well, then don't
do that thing.

If I ever do it again I'm gonna put a "3.1 is OK I guess but I got beat by a 57y/o pushing a double stroller" sticker on my car...
