I am still a little bummed over my run last week in my triathlon. The official race results (which have changed 3 times now) have my run time at 44:22, or an 11:06 pace. This is slightly em brassing I admit. This is something that I do not want to have happen again, I know I can hold a pace much quicker than that, heat or no heat. I have got to get mentally tougher on these days when it is hot. My next race is July 17th, and I expect my run to be more like my run. And this is the thing that disappoints me. I know I did not run the way I can run. I should have hit my goals.
I was looking at my overall race times compared to other age groups the other day and I was surprised. It seems us older guys are alot faster than the majority of the younger dudes.
For example:
My time 1:58:10
35-39 Male 24th
30-34 Male 9th
25-29 Male 8th
40-44 Male 26th
30-34 Male 9th
25-29 Male 8th
40-44 Male 26th
So that tells me I am going to be in a very competitive age group for a number of years to come, so I have to quit whining, and get out there and run. I canno control who shows up on raceday, but I want to be able to run MY race! Anyways, enough about that. It is out of my system and used ad fuel for the next race.
Other random thoughts about the TV shows I watched:
- I was watching SYTYCD (again, if you know what this stands for, then you can't make fun of me) Is it me or sometimes do the story lines the choreographers make up seem stupid? I mean a crunk dance depicting domestic violence?? Whatt?? Just dance man! No meanings!! Only time a dance has meaning is if you are fed up with the man and just have to let the aggression out and you find an empty warehouse to do a Kevin Bacon number like in Footloose! Now that was meaningful dancing!
- The new show Memphis Beat was horrible. It offended me as a Memphian, and as an Elvis fan!
- I now care about soccer, but after the World Cup is over, I won't.
- Wimbledon had a crazy match the other day, I think they tie breakers after its 25-25.
- I cannot put enough sarcastic quotation marks around this phrase ""Congrats to the Lakers"" I still hate the Fakers! (SNL reference when Baldwin hosted)
- Also watched a show called True Beauty and wonder if people are really that into themselves and if so, why???
- True Blood has been ok for me so far, still waiting for the one episode that makes me say WOW!
- Hell's Kitchen is still one of my must see shows. Sometimes I would love to go all "Chef Ramsey" on somebody!
