I couldn’t sleep Friday night time as a result of I used to be so excited for a straightforward 7.5 miles (65 whole for the week) @ 8:43 tempo after which to observe the trials with my pals.
I want this occurred each Saturday morning. I’ve some ideas and questions, however they’re jumbled, so right here we go:
*It’s wonderful how relatable the professionals are…. Sure, Connor and Clayton are working 4 minutes per mile quicker than me, however watching them assist one another, the high-fives, the phrases of encouragement… We get it. I’ve had many races/exercises the place the identical factor occurred with my pals and me, and you understand how particular that bond is. I cherished watching it.
*Jared’s interview afterward the place he obtained emotional… Such a category act. He needed to drop from the race as a consequence of a excessive hamstring harm, however his pleasure for his teammates was touching.
*Was that blood on Fiona O’Keeffe’s bib?? Are you able to think about it being your FIRST marathon after which successful the Olympic Trials?! The Olympic Trials file for the ladies was 2:24:38 (Shalane’s file), and O’Keeffe took 2:28 off that point for her first marathon. She ran a 5:09 mile at mile 25!
*Why do you assume Clayton had Connor win? Is there one thing with Connor possibly incomes extra for 1st? I do know they selected to tie and cut up the earnings in a single race, so I virtually surprise if one thing like that occurred. Is it as a result of Connor helped Clayton get to this stage and pulled him? Was Clayton nervous that Connor wouldn’t end with out him as a result of he was hurting? Or was it as a result of Connor has executed that for Clayton in a special race? From all the things I learn about these two guys, they’re as healthful and wonderful because it will get. They love their households, are trustworthy, and work extremely exhausting. These are the form of folks I would like my children to look as much as.
*One other Utahn that I am keen on:
*I cherished studying that Dakota Lindwurm was a division 2 walk-on athlete, after which she took THIRD for the ladies within the Olympic Trials.
*After taking 4th place in 2020, I used to be so completely happy for Leonard Korir. Do we predict he’ll have the ability to go to Paris? I really feel horrible for Zach Panning after he led the race for therefore lengthy and fell behind within the closing miles.
*My coronary heart broke for therefore many, however particularly for Sara Corridor. She has labored for therefore a few years to get on an Olympic workforce, and at 40 years previous, she was simply 35 seconds behind third place. It was her greatest placement within the Olympic Trials, which is fairly unimaginable, and he or she set a brand new Girls’s Masters US file.
*MY FRIEND (on the far proper) TOOK 12TH AT THE OLYMPIC TRIALS! She was seeded twenty fourth going into the race. I’m so completely happy for her and might’t wait to rejoice along with her in Spain (she is coming too)!
*I’m baffled why so many individuals didn’t assume Clayton Younger would end within the high 3?! He was mainly chit-chatting to Connor within the closing 400-meter stretch. I like that he embraced the underdog mentality and didn’t let that maintain him again.
*I actually wish to attempt the Puma footwear that Fiona was sporting!
*I’ll depend on you to inform me about any good podcasts that come out about any of the athletes.
*Dakota’s pink and orange shade combo is my aim for a race this 12 months.
*Clayton’s good thought of switching hats and protecting the principles… they had been in his water bottles!
*What’s incorrect with me…. Watching all of them harm so dangerous ultimately made me excited to do it myself in 13 days.
The meals we ate whereas we watched was another excuse it was such a very good morning.
*I would like you to make this candy potato and bacon hash dish. It was tremendous easy, too!
Additionally, the Pecan Kringle from TJ’s reigns supreme over some other Kringles. I used to be skeptical, nevertheless it gained.
On Saturday, we went to a UVU basketball recreation:
Winter confirmed up once more:
In fact, it could be foolish for all the children to be sick on the similar time… we like to attract illness out for so long as we are able to. Poor man had a tough Sunday.
