Juniper just had to be on my bike.<\/p>\n

Checkin\u2019 IN!!!<\/h3>\n

FB post in the Crushing Iron Facebook Closed Group Community that bears sharing here:<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, coming out of a long major life-controlled break from triathlon, and my recent swims have been solid. So much so, it makes this scatter-brained self-coached athlete, believe that I can still do hard things.<\/p>\n

Yes, I can still do hard things \u2013 family, life, work, and more.<\/p>\n

Yes, I am human, I am strong\/confident, but imperfect, layered with my own set of insecurities that I battle with openly and alone on an island.<\/p>\n

Yes, this community has helped \u2018ground\u2019 some of my expectations and refined the shaping that endurance sports participation grants me through my involvements! And, I hope it continues for a long time to come!<\/p>\n

Yes, as of now, I will be back at 70.3 IM St George in 2019 and my wife is starting to ask me when I will be ready for the FULL IM \u2013 2019\/2020.<\/p>\n

Yes, I often question where I am at, in my physical fitness and in my current mindset (headspace).<\/p>\n

Yes, I want to get coaching \u2013 but have to play grown up too!<\/p>\n

Yes, I enjoy the Crushing Iron podcasts, and no I don\u2019t agree with everything, but the perspectives have led to an overarching set of improvements that I am grateful for beyond measure.<\/p>\n

I think my gear has been in the closet far too long, but it has definitely served a purpose and provided healthy space for me and my family \u2013 to which we have all determined daddy is a cranky person without endurance sports. I do have a great set of sherpas, um I meant family!<\/p>\n

Thanks to the awesome Crushing Iron community and to the two fearless podcast collaborators! Thank you indeed!<\/p>\n

Yes, I am done, thanks for the scroll and read.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Activities \u2013 <\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I use the following trackers:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Garmin Connect (which pushes the files to the following services):<\/li>\n
  2. Training Peaks<\/li>\n
  3. Strava<\/li>\n
  4. and the ones I don\u2019t remember (Map my stuff via Under Armour and things like the Great Bicycle ride initiative stuff)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Honestly, I mainly use Training Peaks as I pay for an annual subscription on it now, and it is the most detailed in data and other helpful information to keep me where I want to go.<\/p>\n
