So, I signed up for an adventure tri (mountain bike, kayak, trail run) in the early fall. See, it's easy enough for me to skip exercise without immediate measurable consequence, but I will not allow myself to be brutally outperformed in a race while Citizens watch. Knowing this about myself - that I am competitive when people watch - I plan to use this shallow charater flaw to my benefit. The fate is cast: there will be a race this fall and I will be there when the gun sounds. Therefore, I need to train, practice and exercise or fail miserably in front of the entire Community, Nation and Universe.
There is no hiding on this one. I either do the work and perform, or others who did the work will show the World that I did not. Simple, but entirely motivating for me. I have been paddling, riding and running with amazing consistency.
I have also been finding speed secrets. I started using a surf ski instead of my glass tourer...and picked up 15% to the average speed. I am back to cyclocrossing where I used to mountain bike since the mountain bike portion of the race is pretty tame. I guess the running is just running, but my Avias make me feel like I can run faster and jump higher.
I can't, but it doesn't matter. I am motivated and in shape!
