  1. I don’t know if I have any real goals this year other than to race more and have more fun. Kinda got bogged down with goals last couple years. It was great and pushed me to great success but was just too mentally draining.

    I still haven’t accomplished my 1:20 half marathon goal from last year and will give a couple good cracks at it the next few weeks. First at Houston, but I’m doing an anti taper for that as my cycling club has its annual hill country training camp the same weekend. So 2 days of hard cycling then try and run a fast half. What could go wrong?

    So I’m thinking run the Katy half a couple weeks later with a proper taper and see how it goes. But I’m not sure I’m in the shape to be able to pull it off so might just skip that and go straight into more rounded triathlon training for the Galveston 70.3.

    Only other race I’m signed up for at the moment is Kona, but will add 5-10 through the year.

  2. The photographer girl on the left was really lucky to have ducked straight down instead of turning around/to her right.  Pulled off a Sam Houdini escape.

     

    Looks like she got hit in the back of the head with the middle of the horn, maybe twice, hence the reaction to duck.

     

    Edit: looks like she gets hit in the back by the barricade first, then glancing blow by the middle of the right horn

  3. Actually, for the Rivals team recruiting rankings, the points portion are based on the the top 20 commits in the class, not all of the commits. 
    If class size were the metric, Army at #67 (57 commits) and Navy at #71 (56 commits) would be much higher. 
    The stars average is for all of the commits on the list. Again, for Rivals team listing, #3 A&M has a 3.8 average star rating for 25 commits,  #8 Texas has a 3.61 for 23 commits. 


    Put it on the stadium

  4. Any ranking that has us at 46 is garbage.

    But I’d agree we’re not back. We’re a lot better than we’ve been, but until we start putting away lesser teams in the first half and getting all our backups in the game, we won’t be back imo. I don’t think anyone would be surprised if we lost any of the remaining games save Kansas.

  5. Not sure if you could tell on TV, but that play was completely on the coaches. The entire defense was looking at the sideline and they were slow getting the play in. OU snapped the ball before they signaled it in. They gave up a cheap one on that play for sure but I have a hard time blaming the players for it. 


    Yeah I thought a time out had been called or something the way our players weren’t lining up to play d. It was confusing
  6. Also, I guess I should toot my own horn. I qualified for Kona last weekend at IM Maryland. I didn’t have the race I was hoping for (which included puking, shitting and bad charlie horses in my hamstring the last 5 miles). There were 3 Kona slots for my AG and I was in 2nd with a 2 min lead over 3rd with 2 miles to go. The cramps cost me a lot of time and I ended up in 4th. I was gutted. But got lucky at awards and the guy that got 1st passed on his slot.

  7. I have wireless earbuds that have internal storage that are great (bragi). Unfortunately the charging base sucks balls and I can’t even get a replacement so I can’t recommend them.

    Anyway, maybe there’s some other ones available that have internal storage too. Just another option.
