Disregarding the odd hand position (I was rapidly slowing from a kickass Tinman run) and the large letters "Proof" written across the middle, note the angle of my right foot. This is a bad thing.Ever since I was a kid I've been the opposite of pigeon toed... I don't know what that is so I'll call it "Peregrine Falcon Toed"... I walk with my toes pointed out. I was self conscious about it in High School because looking around I noticed that the more out-pointy a persons toes were when they walked, the bigger dork they were. This was not a scientific study, but had enough of an impact that I've always been self-aware of my out-pointedness toe orientation factor.
Anyhow I talked to my down homie Bryant at the sports fitness center and he said I probably need to correct this or I'll have knee problems in a few years- the only thing saving me now is youth. So I've got extra stretches and exercise that I do, and I've pretty much shelved my non-supportive $125 tri shoes. I've found it's really hard to learn to walk and run in a different way.
In other news, I ran today, tried to keep my toes aligned. here's some graphs. Yay Graphs!
And in even more other news, here's my garmin 405's data from last saturday's around-the-island ride. It thinks I rode 87 miles in 11 hours, which is 40 miles shorter and 5 hours longer than I rode. the one thing that is ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT IS THE 55,000 Feet of climbing! That's 10 miles, or mount everest twice, suckaz!
GPS don't lie.
