My BLOG: Where I journal about triathlon, headspace, and personal thoughts.

Welcome to my blog!  I focus on how my wanderings of reasonable self scrutiny intersect with life, mindset, family and my hobby of swim, bike and run. I also focus and take on the dreaded extra disciplines, too (nutrition, recovery, kindness, etc.).

 

Some quotes that currently resonate with me!

“Unrealistic expectations are just future resentments!”

“Almost universally, the kind of performance we give on social media is positive. It’s more “Let me tell you how well things are going. Look how great I am.” It’s rarely the truth: “I’m scared. I’m struggling. I don’t know.”~~Ryan Holiday

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.” – Murakami

TRAINING VIA GARMIN CONNECT — Running

Who knows what is next, the big thing here is after waking up and being in the hot tub unbeknownst to anyone in my household. The impression to go for a run and its time to get back to it was nice. I have thrown my running gear in the closet next to my wife’s speciality locker (hahahaha). I have some new Mizuno Wave creations. I miss that shoe and have spent a lot of time in On Cloud Swifts.

TRAINING VIA GARMIN CONNECT – SARC Indoor Pool

I have been really focused on slowing down, maintaining form, and breaking swim as I get tired. I put in a lot of wall work for my lower right hip adductor. It’s finally not feeling strain, and that means more bike rides (indoor/outdoor). Looking forward to getting my gravel out in the wild soon.

A glimpse in the rearview

This is still a very interesting and often overlooked thing. Too often when validation and security aka listening are sought – we move too quickly. As a parent of Pathological Demand Avoidance kiddos, I’ve painstakingly learned that listening and observing leads to opportunities to validate, then receive context. Once consent is obtained, then we can establish a path to address and solve.

I don’t do TLDR – Wanderings of Shane Brain

“Solitude allows you to reflect while others are reacting. We need solitude to refocus on prospective decision-making, rather than just reacting to problems as they arise. You have some external stimulus, then you go back to your experience, your education, and you see what needs to be done.”

TRAINING VIA GARMIN CONNECT — Rouvy Ride

I need to keep riding and riding and riding. I don’t have races on my radar at this point so its time to just build. Sure come July I have the Cache Valley Tri, but let’s see what base I can get in. There were two major efforts in this ride that were 2 miles and 3 miles efforts and for being in a come back phase – I am pleased and grateful for the outputs. As they say, just keep on pedaling. on!

TRAINING VIA GARMIN CONNECT – SARC Indoor Pool

I did it! I really have taken a lot of efforts to focus on form. Using paddles and no paddles and alternating each 100 yard set. Overall I felt pretty good only one real tired spot.
