Killed my goal pace of 7:30 at the hot chocolate 15k today; honestly shocked myself. I thought it was aggressive… beat it by 16 seconds every mile 😳

Three freedoms from David graeber- to relocate, to say no, and to form social relationships. If you cant relocate you are not free. To me that’s the saddest part of Palestine, a good smart person has no chance to participate because n a meritocratic competition, they’re stuck where they are born at birth.

#ProofOfWork - the goal was a 6 hour half-Ironman. I was way ahead of pace till the last 7 miles of the run, when my hamstring and then my caves cramped up. The mantra for today was “every second counts”- and 6:00:29 rounds down to 6 hours even. A perfect day; next time I will focus a bit more on nutrition and transitions, keep on improving g. Oh, and this does beat my previous PR by about 40 minutes 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Frustratingly, was 0.06 miles short of my goal today of 3 miles in 20 minutes, second time I missed it. Hopefully 3rd times a charm; considering the 3rd lap was at a 6:20 pace I know I can do it if I pace better early on. #ProofOfWork

#ProofOfWork - can’t do it to the letter as my priority is training for a triathlon in September; but I’m putting in the work
