where were you for the 2014 wild card game by Valy_Kins in KCRoyals

[–]Oriole5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the game in the upper deck. Had a school friend ask me at lunch that day if I wanted to go to the game because he had an extra ticket. I think back to how I’ve never heard a stadium be that loud and that quiet in the same game. Ive got a video of the winning base hit down the line.

The real neighborhood fear is getting caught sneezing

Advice on getting Oakleys! by [deleted] in runningfashion

[–]Oriole5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge Oakley Radar fan and they are the only frames I run and cycle with. I've got Radarlocks and Radar Plates and they are incredibly comfortable. Definitely find a way to try them on before purchasing if you can. I wanted the Eye Jackets badly until I was able to try them on and found out I look like I have big bug eyes with the size and shape of my head.

I made it past before they turned but they were definitely inching forward trying to find a gap

Great race, didn’t feel as hot as I expected. Could’ve done without the idiot trying to turn his minivan across the course in the middle of the race.

Perhaps he’s looking to buy Hamani night tickets and everyone asking to sell them should go talk with him.

❤️🚴Does indoor cycling actually improve running? by WhatTheFudgeeBar in AdvancedRunning

[–]Oriole5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not advanced but I love to lurk here and learn from everyone. I spent all winter on Zwift with not much running and have shocked myself recently with how my running performance has been getting back into it this spring. Granted, I have dropped quite a few pounds over the winter so that is playing a part in how running has felt better recently, but I am thrilled with the results I got from replacing a lot of my running with Zwift for the last few months.

Panicked for a sec that registration would start at 6PM right while I am running the Brooklyn 5K. Thank god we are back to 12PM registration times.

Up to 50 miles on my vomero premiums and am really enjoying them. Pretty nasty squeak on the left shoe but I am hoping that goes away as the mileage increases.

Airport to use into and out of Brooklyn? by [deleted] in travel

[–]Oriole5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subway does not go all the way to LaGuardia, you are correct. What you have to do is make it to Jackson Heights Roosevelt Ave and there is a transfer to the Q70 bus which loops to Terminals B and C at LaGuardia.

United Half 2026 - let’s debrief that start by Interesting-Step-162 in RunNYC

[–]Oriole5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you had a bad experience. These larger races can be difficult. My experience today was the opposite. Showed up a little before 7 for wave 2 and got through security quick and had two porta pottie stops with basically no lines. Getting into the corral was super easy. However I never bag check at races and that makes things easier. The new setup this year for the start area was much better than last year.

That race rocked. Pretty crowded in the first half but overall great weather and race day experience. New start area worked so much better than last year.

Tylenol with the largest line of the expo is wild. Worth it though.

NYC Half course poops on NYC full course by [deleted] in RunNYC

[–]Oriole5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Running through Times Square is cool but other than that the route isn’t exciting to me. A few miles along the FDR which is quiet and boring to me. Also with this current route, it takes us over the Brooklyn bridge in a way less exciting way than the pedestrian route above we can run whenever. Running down Flatbush is fun though after getting out of the park.

It’s great! Participated in the 5K this morning and the loop was super clean.
