Comments: My dad and I ran a race in the morning. I left a party early the night before so I could feel rested for the event, but I think I would have been better off if I had stayed—then I would have had an excuse for my poor showing. Seriously, this was my second slowest 5k since junior high.

In the afternoon I played in a Texas Hold 'em tournament that Jake held. I managed to finish in second place and win money. When it came down to just me and Ryu playing for the win, I was ready for the tournament to end. I had been playing for nearly six hours. When my first hand came up Ace-King On-suite, I went all-in. Ryu folded, and I took the blinds, making us just about even in chip count. My next hand came up Ace-Queen On-suite, and I went all-in again. Ryu called and turned up Two-Three On-suite. We waited for the flop. I pumped my fist excitedly when I saw I had made a flush, but my elation turned to disappointment once I realized Ryu had made a full house, Threes over Twos. At least we finished the game with a good round, none of this King-high stuff.
 
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
