  1. A Leg-up at Dawstown

    The man in the blue jacket has both hands on the jockey’s left boot, mid heave, and number 37 is halfway between earth and saddle. It’s neither one place nor the other. I love the awkward physics of a leg-up. It looks ungainly until you remember it’s the only sensible way to...

  6. A Leg-up at Dawstown

    The man in the blue jacket has both hands on the jockey's left boot, mid heave, and number 37 is halfway between earth and saddle. It's neither one place nor the other. I love the awkward physics of a leg-up. It looks ungainly until you remember it's the only sensible way to get a small, light human onto an animal that tall without a mounting block. I have no idea how this jockey and horse did on the day. The photo is from 2024.

  11. Die Formel 1 beschließt umfassende Regel-Änderungen.

    Die Formel 1 hat auf massive Kritik von Fahrern, Teams und Fans reagiert und weitreichende Regeländerungen beschlossen. Nach intensiven Gesprächen während einer Rennpause hat der Automobil-Weltverband FIA ein neues Maßnahmenpaket verabschiedet.

  12. Amazing run! 🏃‍♂️🔥 My 1k section was the second best in the last 30 days with a time of 5:07. Consistency is key to reaching peak performance 💪👏

  14. Ein Lebenszeichen von mir. Nach meinem Start mit Ylvi am Bike bei einem kleinen Rennen in Leipzig bin ich bereits mittags zurück gefahren, da mein Bruder einen runden Geburtstag feierte. Weil ich das Rennen schon vor der Siegerehrung verlassen habe, weiß ich noch keine Zeiten, aber das ist am Ende eh egal. Es lief gut für uns am Bike. 1/2

  15. Haven't posted any of my weekly photo prompts recently. So here's a little something for #BlueTues at the 2023 #IMSA Six Hours at the Glen.

    One of my favorite #cars: the #MercedesAMG GT #GT4.

  16. Great Spanish Grand Prix today. No rain and some awesome battles an overtakes. Well earned victory for Max Verstappen. I wonder though what might have happened if Landon Norris went into the pits earlier, as suggested by his engineer.

  17. Racing Tomorrow – Bure Valley 10 Mile

    Final Grand Prix Race of 2023. Will I end on a high?

    Even though it has only been 5 weeks since the Dereham 5k, it seems like months. I guess this is because all of the other 2023 Sportlink Grand Prix races were much closer together (with 3 days being the shortest gap).

    So here we are. Tomorrow it’s the turn of the Bure Valley Harriers to host their Bure Valley 10 Mile Race, the 14th, and (sadly) final, Sportlink Grand Prix race of the 2023 season. (It looks like there are still a few places available if you fancy it… you can enter at Total Race Timing.)

    Starting and finishing in the North Norfolk village of Banningham, my presumption is that it will be a gently undulating route around the surrounding country roads. If the weather is favourable, I suspect fast times will be the order of the day.

    And speaking of the weather, the current forecast is a sunny 16° C, with a moderate breeze. So fingers crossed conditions will be near perfect.

    Predictions

    Below is a table of predictions from various algorithms / sources. Note that the Athlete Data Analysis Platform and Running Watch do not provide 10 mile race predictions, and so I have had to derive values from their 10 km and half marathon distance predictions.

    AlgorithmPace (min/km)Time (mm:ss)Difference from fastest (%)Riegel (6 min Assessment)4:3774:17– 11.3 %Riegel (3.2 km Assessment)4:2871:53– 8.4 %Athlete Data Analysis Platform4:2170:00– 5.9 %Running Watch4:1468:07– 3.2 %TrainAsONE4:0766:15– 0.5 %Riegel (5 km Race)4:0666:06–Predictions for tomorrow’s 10 mile road race from a selection of sources. Ordered by increasing velocity.

    Given that my last 10 mile race was completed in 66:33 (a personal record), I would have thought that a sub 70 minute time is probable.

    Consequently, as has been the case for the whole season, the assessment predictions are suggesting quite a slow (and unlikely?) time for me. And, as has been common, the Athlete Data Analysis Platform and Running Watch are suggesting times somewhere between my expectation and the assessments.

    Another 10 mile PB? TrainAsONE thinks so.

    At 66:06, the 5 km Riegel prediction is the fastest, with TrainAsONE a close second with a time of 66:15. It is nice to see them concur. It gives faith in their values, and is especially nice as they both predict a personal record time! The game is on!

    Wish me luck!

    (I’ll let you know how it goes.)
