St Petersburg Distance Classic Marathon: 26.41 miles, 00:11:23 average pace, 05:00:39 duration
first marathon down. everything that could go wrong did. honestly i am just proud i did not quit. now i have to look at the run and figure out what i can tweak or add to my training. had a cramp start in my right quad at around mile 15. then around mile 18 both of my calves started to feel odd as if someone was lightly strumming my tendons. then they seized! this continued for the remainder of the marathon where i would walk then try to run and then stop when i had to. then during the entirety of the pace my nose would not stop dripping making it difficult to breathe. ha! also my shorts almost came down twice and i had to re-tie them while carrying my handheld water in my teeth. seriously, so many things i did not expect and had not happened in any previous runs.
really happy to be able to eat spicy food and have some alcoholic beverages again though!

V pekle vojnovej pohromy
Ubehlo 82 rokov od zlovestnej razie v južnej Báčke, keď v dňoch 4. – 23. januára 1942 pri nájazde maďarských fašistov bolo zavraždených na tisíce nevinných civilistov. Vraždení bolo Srbi, Židia, Rómovia, ale aj Slováci a ďalší, a ich telá boli brutálne hádzané pod ľad Dunaja a Tisy. Zákon v tých dňoch utíchol, ľudia boli vraždení bez akéhokoľvek odsúdenia. Nie jeden, nie desiatka, ani stovka, ale na tisíce. To, čo sa udialo musíme stále opakovať, aby bolo varovaním p … ⌘ Read more

Pinellas County - Long Run: 16.03 miles, 00:08:58 average pace, 02:23:34 duration
my ankle, achilles, and calves were fine walking but really tight the first 3 miles of the run (maybe the rope course?). kept it light for the first half then attempted MP or quicker. it was a little hard at times but comfortably discomfortable? all-in-all it was a good run.

i am wondering if maybe i need a better heap like a btree backed one instead of just list sort on Dequeue.
I found a bug where i didnt include an open/closed list that seemed to shave off a little. right now it runs in about 70 seconds on my machine.. it takes over the 300s limit when it runs on the testrunner on the same box.. docker must be restricting resources for it.
I might come back to it after i work through improving my code for day 23. Its similar but looking for the longest path instead of shortest.
