PM: 9 miles, most with John.  I went after three segments today, a 200m sprint, a 1.5 mile tempo, and a 0.6 mile VO2 effort.  The last one was the most challenging.  I took out the 200m sprint twice by two seconds each time- I wasn't quite sure where it started, and being so short, a couple of seconds could make a difference.  The long one was easy, I dropped it by about 1:40 total, and it covers part of the third one I was attempting.  The third one- I'm 99% sure was done by a guy on a bicycle, but it seemed fun to try to take it out while running.  I dropped it by about 15 seconds.  I was shocked I got that one so easily.  The pace I needed was like a 4:36/mile avg pace, but I launched two incredibly fast quarter miles (63 followed by a 64) before dying at the end.  John tried to help me at the end of that one, but I was pretty pooped and rolled in on fumes.

Needless to say, I've found a new hobby for the moment at least.  I truly am a bit irrationaly peeved by the cyclists' times on these segments however.  3:20 mile average for 3/4 of a mile?  Okay, Hicham El Guerrouj.  I have avoided running some of the segments my friends own, at least for now.  I think it would be fun if we filled up the screen or at least tried to, in our city.

In any event, I've found something to do that feeds my competitive side.  Thanks Joe!

AM: 15 miles, with three mile-long segments crowns, a half a mile of striders during our long run.  I shouldn't really count two of those segment crowns, as I just went fast enough to place 1st.  Ran with Brian., whom I also tried to pace to the crowns (for him) but GPS is a bit disappointing when it comes to separating the minutae of seconds & distances when runners go together.

I was trying to today, but I think during our next group run, we will break up the segments and try to get a bunch until we've covered each town.  We shall see if anyone buys in.  Either way, I think I'm going to keep the segment shenanigans going.

AM: 10.3 miles and a 1-mile segment for another 👑. I do admit I'm mailing some of these in, but top spot is top spot.

PM: 6 miles, 1.5 quick to get another crown.

AM: 17.1 miles with Brian and John, 3 fast miles fiddling with some Strava segments. Our group got 4 of the six we were aiming for. I missed one by a single second, and the other one it says we ran the wrong route, which is bogus. My only thought is we ran it hard the wrong direction, and jogged it back in the direction we should have gone.

Funniest part was John careening through a main intersection at the finish of his 0.40mi segment... I guess he thought it needed to be longer!
