 Getting it done everyone. Taking care of these legs. Oh man, I cannot wait to talk to you about what happened out there on the course. I'm excited and just remembering my game plan, going over the five points for my race strategy mentally. In fact, I'm going to review them one more time before heading outside. And oh man, let's do this. Great morning. Woke up in plenty of time. Had a coffee and breakfast pretty much immediately. Three and a half hours before the race. A little over three and a half hours before the race. And then rested another 15, 20 minutes just laying down. And then stretched, rolled out, got the gear on. And then one more little snack, those little bars. Right, let's see. It was at 7.45. So that would have been an hour and a half before the race. Just to make sure I don't get hungry at all leading into the start or during the race. So that is that. Thank you for being here. Thanks for watching. Thanks for cheering. And we'll see you at the finish. In fact, well, I'm going to film going to the starting line. But this is probably the last time I'll be able to chat too, too much. So onward and upward, focus, eyes up, pump arms, quick feet, rhythm. Offer the race for someone else. That's rock and roll. Thank you. Bye. And this is it. The end of the road for us for now until after the marathon. We'll see if anyone is out there filming. If so, you'll see clips out there. I'm obviously not carrying any cameras today. Pure focus, pure grit. Let's go get it done. I got to turn my bag into the clothing check behind me. Go warm up and then go find my spot on the starting line. All right. Cheers. YouTube family. I'm going to carry you with me in this race. Carry you with me. All right. Onward and upward. Let's go. Come on. Rhythm. Rhythm. Rhythm set. Rhythm. Getting up the steps, everybody. Chris is here helping me. Shout out to Chris. Chris was at the group run. All right. We're going straight to the massage tables. It hurts. It hurts real bad. So massage time. Thank you for taking... Yeah. Okay. It's actually video. We're doing it, everybody. Oh, gosh. I'm glad. I'm glad it's over. I'm glad. Rude is going to take care of me. Okay. You can... Yes. Okay. Okay. Then you push. Stop. Getting it done, everyone. Taking care of these legs. Oh, man. I cannot wait to talk to you about what happened out there on the course. Just insanity. So... Oh, man. Just got to see if I can walk the rest of the day. Thank you. Thank you, Rude. Yes. High five. High five. All right. Thank you. On the channel. Yeah. Here we go. Hey, where are you guys from? France. All right. Where are you from? Thank you for watching. Appreciate it. Very tasty. Very tasty. Cheers, YouTube family. And cheers to Chris. Should we go find some food? Beer before food? That's not a good recipe. All right. We're sinking. Sinking to Strava. Letting everybody know how it went and eating the burger still. Goes on YouTube. All right. We're sitting here in the stands, soaking up the atmosphere. And I just met... What was your name again? Aaron from Stockholm, Sweden. Awesome. He watches the vlog. Thank you. What was your time today? 250. 259. 250. That's amazing. That is a great time. So thanks for watching. Appreciate it. And look at this. Look at the crowds out here. And Chris, Chris, what was the half marathon winner? 106. Wow. Interesting. Planting seeds. Planting seeds. Guy from Sweden. Really? A guy from Sweden. I was... I looked at the app. I was 106.53 was the official half marathon time. So I feel good about that. But then it started to hurt. Do you watch the channel? Yeah. Watch the channel. Thank you. I saw the results. I don't know what happened. I know. It was hard. I guess so. 219. I was on pace until about mile... probably about mile 21. It started to slip away a little bit. And I went out probably a little too fast. So I was at 106.53 at the halfway point. So anyway. But lessons learned, right? I've got a whole bunch of friends in my app. And you are way ahead of everyone. You'll be on the vlog. Yeah. We'll see you on Strava. Sound good? Yes. Let's pronounce. All right. Go man. Have a good stay here. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome in Armstrong. Thanks. Appreciate it. Oh man. This is fun. We're just meeting folks here. It's exciting. Just inspiring to see everyone. Appreciate it. Cheers. I'd love to hang out more. But I think it's time to go take care of the body. Roll out. Stretch out. Go get good food. Drink. And yeah. Just trying to make sure I can make it to the airport tomorrow. So it's been good in Amsterdam Marathon. A little rough. I must say. But it's been real good. Just soaking in. Soaking in the debut marathon. You know. It's like this doesn't happen every day. In fact, it only happens once in your life when you run your first marathon ever. So I will take it and just a lot of lessons learned. That's what life is about, right? Learning lessons every day. Every single day. Sometimes the lessons are a little hard to swallow, but they're good nonetheless for you. And I think that's what happened today. So all right. Let's go find a train. Go, go, go, go. Okay. Oh my goodness. I just got done. I didn't film it, but I just got done foam rolling and stretching and it feels amazing. Wrapping up packing as well. That's right. It's time to go home. What a trip it has been. And in case I haven't shown it to you yet or you haven't seen it, there is the medal. I really like it actually. I like that it's shaped like a track because you finish the rate. You start and finish the race in the Olympic stadium here in Amsterdam and the 1928 Olympics were held here in Amsterdam. That's pretty amazing. So here's the deal. This vlog is going long. So I'm going to resist with all my might to not break down the race for you today. That will be tomorrow. That's a vlog in itself. I have so many thoughts on what unfolded from the first K to the third K to the 21K at halfway, which again came through at 106.53. So pretty hot, pretty hot out of the barrel, but I will break it down for you tomorrow. And does it, I will just say this, does it sting a little bit? It stings a little bit, not going 219, sub 219, two hours, 19 minutes. Yeah, it's not a perfect situation or a perfect outcome. But at the end of the day, overall, I'm pretty excited about, I'm honestly excited about that 106.53, considering it was in a marathon race, not in a half marathon race. So that's exciting. Now I've got a lot of thoughts about what happened after that half marathon. But at the end of the day, we stay positive, we absorb it, process, that's kind of what I'm doing right here in the hotel room. I'm actually going to take a few notes down. So I remember, and then I can communicate them to you tomorrow, but so I can remember for the future, right? Isn't this life about learning like one day at a time, one run at a time, one training session at a time, one debut race at a time. So whatever, if you're debuting at a 50k or you're debuting at a road mile race, whatever distance you're debuting at and what surface it is on, learned a lot about that today. So distance and surface and you know, elevation gain as well. But like, so there's different ways to debut and to learn from those moments. So I'm going to take notes here so I don't forget them for the future. Sound good? Question of the day. Did you rate, I always ask it. Well, I don't always, but usually ask this on Sunday. Did you race this weekend and how did it go? What distance did you do? Did you race and or how was your long run this weekend? If you had a long run on tap? So let us know down below and I'll be excited to read the comments on the airplane ride back to Denver and give you some kudos on Strava and that is that. Thanks for coming along the journey. It does sting a little bit. I'm not like trying to cover that up at all. But at the same time, we live in, yeah, we live and learn. I almost said we learn and live. I guess vice versa, vice versa. So all right, signing off. You guys rock. I love you and shout out to everyone that came up and said hello today out in the streets of Amsterdam. Onward and upward, onward and upward. All right, a couple Amsterdam vlogs on the right and the left once again. And we just keep learning together, striving together, working hard, and you know the drill. All right, everyone signing off from Amsterdam. See beauty, work hard, and love each other. See you tomorrow.
