Day 1 writing prompt...My Story...the short version

Not sure actually how to begin.  I saw a few TED talks while doing a binge day after recovering from elbow surgery.  Scott Dinsmore struck some interest so I discided to check out his website and sign up.  Yes I am not 100% satisfied with what I am doing with my life so maybe this will be the fist step in moving toward the direction that suites me better.
I am in my mid 50's have a passion for sports, coaching and helping people.  I am NOT a detailed person and that sometimes can be frustrating to me and I am sure the people I work with. 

I consider my self a multi-potentialite see Emilie Wapnick's TED talk https://www.ted.com/talks/emilie_wapnick_why_some_of_us_don_t_have_one_true_calling
That and reading Tim Farris the 4 hour work week is what go me going.  So this is my first step.  BTW...this is just a brain dump.  I have no intention to edit this...now and probably not in the future.

Lost my train of thoughts for today...interrupted by the dogs...done...TTFN

August Newsletter - Race Report

 I am hoping that some sort of newsletter will be a regular part of our communications.  I will commit not to fill your already full mailbox with solicitation and endless pontification.  July was my not so triumphant return to racing.  Training for me since 2016/2017 has been sporadic, inconsistent with no focus.  That changed last November when I committed to myself that I wanted to be a contender at the Masters National Championships. The weekend of July 17 marked my return.  There were lessons learned and good take a ways most of which were “do as I say not as I do” issues.  I’d like to share these with you in hopes that I (and you) don’t repeat them again…anytime soon. My race report to myself and Coach: Salisbury Circuit race July 17, 2021 * The race in general o As hard as I expected.  I went all in several times. Deep enough to hope that the field was slowing before I/group got caught. o It was hot and windy.  I am used to the heat and...

Ride with James - February 26th ride report

Image
 Workout description WU: 10 - 20 minute build to endurance ------- MS1: 15 Under/Over - 90% of FTP / 150% of FTP. Rest 5 minutes ------ MS2: 15 Under/Over - 85% of FTP / 150% of FTP / 90% of FTP. Rest 5 minutes ------- MS3: 4 x 1/1 FRC mini ramp ------- CD: 5 - 15 minutes easy spin This was a very challenging workout today. An anaerobic TIS of 10 and an aerobic TIS of 4. You can see the FRC depletion and no recovery for each of the 15 minute under/over efforts. I had to adjust the FTP bias down by 5% on the last two 150% efforts to be able to finish the set. As my strength and fitness increases this should not be the case.

Day 4 What I’m proud of

I am not a prolific reader.  It’s a chore, I fall asleep because my brain is going faster than I can get the words and concepts to it.  Never read much outside of assignments in school.  So my writing has reflected that.  Short, not much on the extra verbiage side either.  That has gotten me in trouble or at least undermined my efforts when doing presentations or corrispondence.  So why this admission now.  Ive been thinking about the prompt for yesterday actually and feel this can be a two word essay today.  My Kids.  But that isn’t what the intent of this exercise is, correct?  Well for parent there isn’t much else that can eclipse seeing your kids grow up and succeed.  Sure there are other things I have done and can say I am proud of but they cant compare to your children. Each day we get a prompt and they ask you to set a goal of writing 100 words.  Hu...100 words is that like breaking 100 in golf or running a marathon und...
