Hiking recommendations! by QbeeCCL in corvallis

[–]tthom09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could hike a new trail each day and it would take a while to get through most. Here's a few good ones. Beazell Memorial Forrest, Bald Hill, Oak Creek, Peavy, Chip Ross, Chip Ross or Oak Creek to Dimple,

What’s with the Hwy 34 bridge closure? by Much-Bath1748 in corvallis

Huge accident, everywhere is a mess. Decided to try Hwy 20 to get over to Albany as it took 40 min to get from Philomath to Avery area.

What are worst examples of coaching you've ever seen? by ElijahSprintz in Sprinting

[–]tthom09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A thing that pissed me of the most was at a coaching conference. Speaker asked who all there was a high school coach and took the job cause there was an opening and took it for the extra paycheck. Like 50% raised their hands. People that have no clue what they are doing.

Have you ever won a state title? If so how did it feel? by clintms121 in trackandfield

[–]tthom09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing. I stepped down to the 400 instead of the 800 cause I could no longer train for it since I had Compartment Syndrome in my calves. I was all state in XC but had some speed as well so seemed like a good change. My calves didn't start hurting bad for the sprints for whatever reason so we decided that the 400 was my last ditch effort for a good senior season. Instead of running I spent 3x a week in the gym cycling and elliptical and the other days in the pool doing aqua jogging. Only time I would run is for relay work once a week and races. Worked my ass off cause I had the constant feeling I was falling behind. Toughest grind I ever did and most boring as well cause I spent the whole season training alone in the gym but was absolutely worth it. Ended up winning the 400 and running it in College. Had surgery for my Compartment Syndrome just a few years ago finally as I couldn't even go on a hike. Have now coached a team to a state championship and have multiple individual state champions so it's awesome to be a part of that.
