Recent Quad Meet

So, I ran the 5k recently at a home meet against Fresno State, Stanford, and USF. So the conditions were hardly ideal, sunny with 15-20 mph winds, so I didn't run a great time. But nevertheless, I had a fun finish, and here's some photos to prove it:









That was the most dramatic finish I've been in, and it was against Erick Garcia no less, a 9:09 2-miler and 15:30 at Woodward!

Sub 4 vs Everest

A recent thread was made on letsrun about which is harder, a sub 4:00 mile or climbing Mt. Everest. This is one of the replies.

"A guided trip up Everest is like sub-4:00 on rollerskates on a one-lane track with the perimeter of the track having a 12-story dropoff, and every once in while, a chunk of the track falls away completely."-Some letsrun poster

I thought it was funny.
