Paris Sport Activities

Came back from my first visit in 25 years. Not sure what to feel...

Paris Sport News - Wed, 04/17/2024 - 04:58

My parents used to take me to Disneyland Paris multiple times a year back in the 90's because my father had a job that required frequent business trips to France.

As a child who was bullied a lot in school, Disneyland always felt like my safe-space and the only place in the world where I could play and have fun without being laughed at. Sadly I lost my father to cancer, and no one in the familly felt like going back to DLP without him, so for 25 years I have avoided the park, and decided I would return when I had a familly of my own.

So this month I decided it was time to give my wife the same experience my father gave my mother, and booked a week in DLP, at Hotel Cheyenne where my familly always stayed.

This was not our first Disneyland experience together. We have lived in Tokyo for a few years, and have visited Tokyo Disneyland a few times, but it never had the same "magic" to me as DLP.

So I came back... and I am not really sure if I am blinded by nostalgia, but I felt that a good chunk of the charm from my childhood experiences in DLP had vanished.

First is the new look for the hotels. I know it's really weird to complain about a hotel in Disneyland being "too Disney", but I really did not like the new themes that they added. What I loved about hotels such as Cheyenne and Santa Fe was that they created a full illusion that you were actually back in the wild west, and they only had subtle hints at being Disney hotels.

Now the interior and some exteriors are covered with Toy Story and Cars, which completely takes you out of the illusion, and reminds you that you are living in a fake setting. I really did not like this change, and it certainly didn't help that I couldn't go to the reception for a roll of toilet paper, without being stopped by an armed guard who needed to check my bag...

I had the same issue with all the Marvel statues outside of the New York hotel. I felt they were a complete eyesore and ruined the imagination.

I was also very dissappointed by the lack of live entertainment at the hotel. I don't know if this is a seasonal thing now, but in my childhood I remember going to the Red Garter Saloon where there was live-music every night, performed by a lovely american/british couple (Anyone knows what they are doing now btw? Think they were called The Thrifts).

At Santa Fe they also used to have live performances and even karaoke nights. None of that was present when my wife and I went there. Again, maybe this is now a seasonal thing?

I was also bummed by the lack of free roaming at the hotels. I wanted to show my wife the Disneyland Hotel inside, which used to be fully accessible to everyone, just like the one in Tokyo. But we were again met by an armed guard, who demanded that we showed proof of being guests at the hotel. When we couldn't provide that, we were told to leave...

You also couldn't walk around in the Chuck Wagon Cafe or Red Garter Saloon outside the opening hours. This used to be possible, and many families used these places to rest while waiting for cleaning to be done, or waiting for laundry.

The park itself looked mostly the same, but really run down. Cracks everywhere, rides breaking down or being closed. Heck, the train couldn't even stop at Adventureland, Discoveryland or Fantasyland beacuse they didn't have enough staff... No Disney characters walking around. Instead people had to get in line to have one picture with each character, which again broke the illusion for me.

Disney Village also seemed like a ghost town, with barriers everywhere, closed buldings and a lack of live entertainment. I remember there used to be a huge stage in front of the sports bar, which had late-night concerts. Is this also a seasonal thing now or...?

Last but not least, I felt that the attitudes of the cast members had changed a lot, but this might also be because I have gotten so used to the level of service in Tokyo Disneyland.

Many cast members seemed to be pissed off most of the time, and did the bare minimum to offer any service to the guests. My wife was appalled when she went to the bathroom, and she saw the cleaning lady standing in a corner chatting while the floor was covered in piss, poo and blood. Even something as simple as buying an ice-cream took almost 10 minutes, because the staff was either busy talking to coworkers or moved incredibly slow while rolling their eyes and showing general contempt for the guests. I want to believe that we were just very unlucky.

Will I come back to DLP again? Absolutely. The place still means a lot to me, but I am just really sad at the state it is in, and I feel like some of the magic is gone...

⚠️ OLYMPICS-OPENING CEREMONY IN STADE DE FRANCE ONLY IF MAJOR SECURITY RISK, SPORTS MINISTER SAYS

Paris Sport News - Wed, 04/17/2024 - 03:42

France would only move the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games to a stadium if there was a major security risk, as this would mean scrapping the parade on the River Seine and restricting the ceremony to speeches, Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera said.

Ask not, what your country can do for you....(Lookatyourselfandawaken)

Paris Sport News - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 23:57

So you're an American? Do you even know what that means? Having been born and raised in the land of the free; do you understand how that alone is similar to buying a random lottery ticket and winning instantly(You did nothing else) Required no other effort. At least it must seem that way by the thousands attempting to get here the hard way. How about American Idol; the chosen winner did not get that status by walking across the border or rolling the dice. It took a lot of hard work, determination, perseverance and certainly talent(we'll use skill too). So what does it mean, to be AmerIcan?

It does mean you have many more privileges than most, born in countries around the world. You have a voice and can be heard. You can speak your mind publicly and go on your way. It means you can gather peacefully to oppose something or someone, without the fear of disappearing or being "marked" out in the society that you live. It means you can achieve almost anything you set your mind too(once you've made up your mind and set out to do it). As a matter of fact; being an American, the only one setting limitations on what you can do with your life is primarily you!

Certainly for some,(Bill or Melinda Gates, Warren Buffet, or Paris Hilton) it is easier to achieve or have a successful life overall. Look around in sports, the musicians or the actors on television. They come from all walks of life. Some may need to work even harder,(as opposed to some that have had their wealth come easier) but Thousands come here to succeed, because there is opportunity to do so and the effort is worth the sacrifice. Not to be here for handouts or take from others; what they have earned or worked hard for in their life. It isn't the American way, and many did not get here for such reasons(though it seems the winds have changed). Being an American, you are Not entitled however.

Nothing is free nor should it be presumed to be. There is reward, in all the hard work that we do to live a good, comfortable life. (Though some rewards are veiled.) There are chains that typically may come from gaining without earning or handouts without necessity. (Government programs or welfare) Someone else is in control, or has the upper hand and ultimately could decide your fate.

You are not entitled to free healthcare in America. No guarantee of a retirement unless you find the right job in life or plan accordingly.

There are no certainties and none should be expected.

The truth is, you really have to work hard to attain all that you'll need in life. It is up to you to do your best to remain healthy(or not) but no one else should pay for your Lack Of. . . Like the millions before you; Freedom is being an American and the privilege to have been born on this soil. The land of the free, because of the brave. Yes there are taxes to be paid to local & federal government entities; that are necessary for police, schools, fire departments and relatively good roads that can take you anywhere in the country. Offering protection, education and even rescuing a home built up on the mountainside under siege from fire. Being an American, you have a duty to continue the greatness of this country.

#Background
This race was a special one for me. 1 year ago, I ran my first ever half marathon with NYCRuns in Brooklyn with a finishing time of 1:29:57. I trained for about 8 weeks for that race, and prior to that I was generally fit, jogging about 20-30 minutes before my weight lifting sessions x4-5 week and playing basketball once a week. However, I had zero long distance running background, was incredibly burnt out from internal medicine residency as I was working 70-80+ hour weeks and switching between day and night shifts so frequently, and grieving the end of a romantic relationship. Running became one of the outlets for me that kept me sane during what felt like the lowest period in my life, and gave me a sense of growth, mindfulness, and discipline.

In November 2023, I ran my first marathon in Philadelphia with a finish time of 2:54:34, in which I used the NYC 9+1 races to work on my speed and qualify for NYC Marathon in 2024. I also ran with the Nike NYC Run Club on the weekends to help train for that marathon. Having mentally set the floor of what I could possibly do in the sport, and also being a little salty that I would have missed Boston by 5 seconds in 2024, I set a New Year's goal of completing a Sub 2:50 marathon to give me the best shot at running Boston in 2025.

#Training
One of my favorite quote of this training block was "If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail." - Benjamin Franklin. I had given my body about a 6 week break from intense running after Philadelphia to travel, and catch up with friends and family. On January 1st, I started back up. The first thing I needed was a training plan. I used the free Bandit Running 14 week training plan to give me a general idea of what each week would look like. The #1 priority I had going into this block was to ramp up my weekly mileage to 60-70 weeks.

I was able to keep up with the training plan for about 2 weeks, until I decided to ditch it as my work schedule started to become erratic and I started doing weeks of 13+hour night shifts. The weeks of night shifts in February definitely made me decondition a bit as it threw off my circadian rhythm for about 2-3 weeks, and I had to deal with the stressors of working in the ICU. I had also tried running with the Jersey City Run Club (an incredible running group btw) for the sense of community, but that also fell through as I felt that my personal goals were misaligned with the group. At the beginning of the training block, I was cross training on the stationary bike once a week for an hour to 1.5 hours to substitute the easy runs, but decided that this was inefficient as I should focus on developing the muscles mainly used in running. I also believe that I deconditioned during one of the weeks as I had tried running at a HR of low 130s (this ended up being around 9:30 min/mi pace). I felt the most growth when my easy runs were in a HR of 140s. I was also ingesting about 10g of creatine per day to maintain muscle mass, but slowly stopped because I felt like I was holding onto too much water and thus weight.

In the end, most of my weeks consisted of 1 day of 800m sprints x 8-10 repeats w/ 90 seconds rest and a cool down run at the end (for a total of 12 miles), 2 days of medium exertion pace (usually around 7-7:30 min/mi w/ an average distance of 12-12.5 miles in one session), 2 days of easy pace (usually around 8:30min/mi for 12 miles), 1 long run on the weekends that were 20+ miles (with the longest run being 24 miles 3 weeks before the marathon, and most of them at a 7-7:15min/mi pace), and 1 rest day (usually the day before or after the long run). My peak week was 3 weeks before the marathon, in which I hit 82 miles. The other weeks in the marathon I was averaging around 70 miles. My last long run was 1 week before, where I did 6 miles easy and a 4 mile race in Central Park. I was able to keep a comfortable 6:00min/mi pace during that race and it gave me the psychological confidence going into race day. I also strength trained 1-2 times per week, purely focusing on upper body work to let my legs rest.

My taper went from 82 miles > 74 miles > 53 miles > 18 miles (the week of the race). I focused on maintaining intensity that I had through the training block, just decreasing the overall mileage of the runs.

I was very lucky where the only injury I experienced was some left ankle swelling as I was slowly ramping up mileage. However, overtime I stopped noticing it.

The resources that I found most helpful were Advanced Marathoning by Pete Pfitzinger, Youtube videos by Stephen Scullion, VO2MaxProductions, Floberg Runs, Nick Bare - all which gave me incredible knowledge in the importance of nutrition, psychological mindset, training balance, managing fatigue, and so so much more. Their information inspired me to reflect and also share with others my own experience during this block in hopes that it can help others.

During most of my training runs, I ingested one or two Gu or Huma gels to keep my performance up. Didn't like BPN gels as it did not sit well in my stomach. During my long runs, I simulated what nutrition would be like on race day - ingesting ~80-90g of carbohydrates per hour. I also focused on increasing my daily carbohydrate intake through rice, pasta, potatoes, and more berries to perform better on all my runs, as well as increase my liquid and electrolyte intake with coconut water and LMNT electrolytes daily. I cut out alcohol completely during this training block (highly recommend Athletic Brewing as an alternative). I always carb loaded 1-2 days before my long runs. I also decreased my fiber intake significantly the day before long runs and race day to minimize the chance of loose bowels.

For shoes, I used the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3. I changed out my shoes every ~400 miles, as I could feel the cushion wear off. During my speed workouts, I wore Nike Vaporfly 2. I also always wore a garmin chest strap HR monitor for accurate data. I also started using Runalyze.com for marathon time predictor.

#Pre-Race
During my first marathon, I bonked incredibly hard at the end. Knowing that this was due to my poor nutrition pre and intra race, I focused on properly carb loading and intra race fueling. My carb load started 3 days out with a goal of 10g/kg for a total of about 750g of carbs per day. I hopped into bed at 8PM, but had a hard time falling asleep due to race nerves. I woke up at 3:45AM on race day for breakfast. My goal was about 1-2g/kg for a total of 150g carbohydrates 2.5-3 hours before the race, as some literature has shown insulin regulation to be ideal when you have your breakfast 3 hours before your race. I had a cup of coffee (which led to a few poops), a large bowl of oatmeal topped with honey and almond butter, a Maurten Solid 225 bar, Maurten Premix 320, and about 1.5L of water mixed with 3 LMNT packs (for a total of 3000mg sodium and 600mg potassium).

My goal this race was to increase my carbohydrate intake to 90g/hr through the Maurten 160 gels (45g carbs). I would eat half of the gel every 15 minutes. I also slowly ingested 1 Huma gel (double electrolyte version) 10 min before the race. I carried 6 Maurten gels, and 2 extra Huma gels throughout the race just incase I felt nauseous with the overload of carbohydrates from the Maurten gels, and incase I needed more electrolytes due to cramping.

#Race
Incredibly lucky to start the race with perfect race conditions. 45 degrees, very minimal wind. Flat course, but lots of uneven roads and some potholes. I had a warm pair of throw away clothes and some hand warmers. My race shoe of choice were the Nike Vaporfly 3s (I think I prefer the Vaporfly 2 and will check out the Metaspeedy Sky Paris for my next race shoe). Started getting in the zone with some music, and once that gun went off, I started off HOT. The first mile was 5:59. I deep down knew this was way too fast and not sustainable, but the HR on my watch was 135. I foolishly decided to maintain a pace of 6-6:10 for the first 6 miles, as I felt comfortable. By mile 7, I started feeling that I was hitting my strides and the pace started getting more reasonable of around 6:15. However, by mile 10 my HR jumped from the 150s to the 170s, which I would maintain for the rest of the race. At this point, it started to get a bit warmer and I took off my arm sleeves.

I was planning on meeting my friends at mile 15 to grab a water bottle from them, but I arrived to the mile marker before our planned meeting time, and unfortunately around that time I could feel a slight heaviness in my right leg and a small pinch. I knew it was a combination of fatigue, dehydration, and possibly electrolyte disturbance. I immediately ate one of my emergency Huma gels with electrolytes and the tightness went away, but my legs and HR remained high in the 170s. Water stations were few and far between (about every 2 - 2.5 miles) and during the mile 16 water station, I ran past and was only able to drink half of a small cup of water that I quickly grabbed from a volunteer. I mentally started to panic here, as I knew that I would slow down significantly if I did not replace all the fluids that I had lost. I started scanning the crowd for anyone that might have a water bottle, and started yelling if anyone had any water. LUCKILY, someone did and ran and handed me a full water, which saved my life (forever grateful). Around this time, the sun started to peak out more and the temperatures were rising to the low 60s. As soon as I started sipping on the water, my heart rate dropped by 5 beats per min and I got a second wind of energy. I found that big gulps of water upset my stomach and small sips every 4-5 minutes gave more noticeable results.

At the end of mile 18, I started to feel the dreaded wall. My mental focus became less sharp and I started to actively think about keeping my legs moving. They say the race is only half done at mile 20, and this is very true. It was during this time, when I started fighting my inner demons to get me through the rest of the race, using pure emotions of the past, present, and future as a fuel. I was in my pain cave. From mile 19-26 my average pace was around 6:45 and I kept telling myself that as long as I'm below 7 min, I should be ok with all the time I banked at the beginning. At mile 23, another spectator gave me a water bottle which I sipped on and dunked over my head as the sun became really intense. I didn't eat my last Maurten gel because I had almost vomited the one before. Instead, I ate my last Huma gel. At the end of mile 25 I started to get a little lightheaded. It was then I saw my friends and family, where I came back alive! My friend decided to jump into the race and help pace the last 0.5 miles. It gave me a burst of energy and I finished the last leg at a 6:19 pace.

#Post-Race
Crossing the finish line, I was physically and emotionally gassed. I went straight to the medic tent because I needed to make sure I wasn't hypoglycemic. I chugged a bottle of gatorade, asked my friend to tip my legs up. 10 minutes later, I was good enough to wobble outside to see my family and friends. I finally looked down at my watch: 2:49. "You did it man. You're going to Boston," my friend excitedly said to me as I was leaning on his shoulders picking up my medal and aluminum blanket. I started to tear up and cry. What an incredible and unexpected journey it was to get here - the amount of time spent running outside in the cold and late at night, learning and training, nerding out with friends about running, laughing at running memes and reels, and teaching others about a sport that has given me so much in life.

Looking back, I had grown a lot of discipline in training, however lacked discipline in the execution of the race as seen by starting off too hot. Will need to focus on starting much slower next time because I burned through my glycogen stores too fast. Will also need to have more back up plans for hydration at next visit - either running with a water bottle or asking friends and family to arrive a bit earlier. Always open to feedback from others on how I can improve in training and racing.

After my first marathon, I became incredibly cyanotic in the lips - but at the time I attributed that to bonking and hypothermia. After and late in this marathon, my lips were also cyanotic. I'll probably get an echocardiogram to rule out any shunting in the heart, but I was wondering if this commonly happens in marathon runners?

My Strava recorded ~26.45mi first the course and I think other people recorded the same as well. I had checked Runanalyze.com the day before and it essentially predicted my running time. The garmin predictor was slower by 8 min.

Overall, going to really savor this moment and journey and remember it forever. What. A. Race.

Hope someone gets something out of this long reflection.
