Weekly Reflections and Focus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am concentrating on the event.  I competed in the Cache Valley Super Sprint Triathlon<\/a>.  I signed up toward the end, but sitting around doing nothing as I slip from my weight a bit is driving me and my wife a bit nuts.  The start is only about 1.2 miles away from home so it made the logistics nice.  It was good to support a local event.  The format was F1 which means, think of 2 sprint triathlons one right after the other with no stopping.  The end total is an Olympic Distance triathlon (1000 metres swimming, 25 miles cycling and 10 K running).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I rode over to the event and got things setup.  Because of it being local i was able to keep things super simple and minimal.  I ran into Jesse Dunn\u2019s father and he chatted with me for a few minutes and caught me up with how decent his son is doing.  Jesse was one of the youth in the   local church congregation when Liz and I first moved out of the condo where Dennis was born.  It was a pleasant surprise to run into each other at the Wellsville Duathlon a few weeks back to run into him and hear he had a rough go at 70.3 IM St George too.  Side note, Jesse is almost pro, I am a middle of the pack Age-grouper ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After setting up and chatting, got into line and began the swim.  the water in the Logan Aquatic Center Pool was so warm.  It was too warm.  I took my time and only had one swimmer pass me.  I have not been in the water since before Father\u2019s Day, and it was obvious.  No gimmicks, no buoys, no nothing, just me and my kit and the warm water.  I was a bit of pace for me, but not too bad.  Then a quick transition, kept it simple and rode out to Mendon.  I am thinking a better bike fit is in order, but I was able to keep a strong pace and caught some of the folks that I wouldn\u2019t catch in the water.  Then a quick simple transition to the run. When I rode by our house, I could see the garage door open down the street and imagined that Liz and Dennis and Juniper were coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headed out on the run and it took a bit to get my legs.  I was taking it easy because I was about to repeat this format.  I think with the previous week, horrible sleep, and bad nutrition this week, it was very apparent that I was going to fight a bit mentally and physically.  The surprise was the turn around was just after the cart bridge and i was expecting to go to the end of the trail.  that was a nice and pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transition back to the swim, forgot about my nutrition.  Gutted my pockets and placed stuff on the light standard I would remember.  I did this event in my glasses as I have run out of contacts.  This made for a fun few moments, and into the water gently as others were coming in from the sprint as I was completing my swim.  The second swim was a bit rough.  I was ok, but b\/c I have not swam consistently since Father\u2019s Day, it was tough, not the worst, but just head to put head down, get into rhythm, and not get passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out onto the bike, I took my time, gathered nutrition and on the pedal out after the stop sign I stated to eat my PB&J.  This is where the female overall finisher passed me, and I was ok with that as I was just concentrating on keeping within good MAF zones on my heart rate.  I knew at this point that an AG finish was not truly in my sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I caught the gal at the turn around, but traffic \u2013 not much, but some of our farm folks don\u2019t take kindly to cyclists in our parts.  I passed 5 or so folks that were doing the gran fondo ride too.  Come through transition, see Liz, wave and get out on the run.  This is the part where i kinda just cruised.  I was doing pretty well, but then my stomach started to bother me for the first time ever.  This was new, but I was able to stay in front of it.  I was able to make a decent time on the 5k, and a lot of use were encouraging the straggling sprint folks, where a few were like, I am barely getting the one done, and you are doing it twice.  LOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality is, this was just to keep me moving.  I am feeling the competitive burn in me a bit, but I also have to realize that I am now 42.  This is a health journey.  This is a way to stay available for Liz, and our kids.  This is a fun way to stay healthy.  I am focused on family first, but this is a great way to not offload stress unfairly on her or the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a good event, but the overall management of the event was a bit haphazard.  I am coming to find different events with the RD\u2019s and support does make a difference.  I am coming to find that I prefer certain events more than others.  This was a good event for me to disrupt the funk I have been brooding in a bit.  My work and current client is weighing on me and I am ready for a mixup, which I understand is coming soon.  I have enjoyed the challenge of the work opportunity, but I have been meeting the required deliverables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, I was grateful to have Liz and the kids come out and see me home.  I was disappointed I was not where I wanted to be fitness wise.  Liz has been catching the bug.  the challenge is to find a way to let her get back to where she wants too.  How to make that happen has been a bit of a challenge, but i think that we can do that soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that about covers it.  oh yeah, I was number 2 in the AG, Male 40 \u2013 45.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities \u2013 Starting to detach from all extra platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Capturing my training via WordPress using embeds with Garmin Connect. Too many subscriptions, and moving piecemeal approaches. Currently, I use a Garmin Fenix 5<\/a> watch. This means my initial connection point is via Garmin Connect platform<\/a>. I use ROUVY<\/a> for my indoor and virtual training rides, and that delivers my output to Garmin Connect<\/a> and Trainingpeaks<\/a>. Sorry Strava, I think I will just let things flow through unedited until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
