My last big, long, tough, hard, brutal, hot traini

My last big, long, tough, hard, brutal, hot training day before I head to Europe for my 3rd race trip this year. First up, @spartanraceitaly 🇮🇹 Belluno & 2 hard Dolomite mountain races. The Beast alone reportedly has 4900ft of vertical gain. Am I ready to #letsrace? 100%!

18.4 MILES
4H 55M
4100FT VERT
12205FT MAX

"Repetition makes right actions happen under stres

"Repetition makes right actions happen under stress."

A fundamental pillar of my multi-sport training regime; repeat often, repeat consistently, repeat with purpose. And repetition has levels within levels. In this case, the workout overall is regularly repeated & has levels of repetition within. There's repetition in the T¹ T² transitions, in the rides, in the runs, in the shoe changes, in the watch/lap triggers, etc. And the value of consistent repetition is applicable to virtually anything. Repetition makes right actions happen under stress. And racing is all about stress & making the execution of each piece smooth & right.

You'd be foolish to expect an EV vehicle to last a

You'd be foolish to expect an EV vehicle to last as long, be as easy to repair, take as much abuse, go as many places (in any weather/terrain), eat any gas octane & even start if an EMP goes off, than this 1974 (52yrs) Toyota #FJ40 Land Cruiser. These rigs are undeniable & world wide proven (still today) in the toughest conditions. And I own one. A highly customized one by me & my hands.

Opening day at the local HOV area near my house. I've spent the last 3 weeks doing repairs, tweaks, upgrades, fixes in preparation for this day. There's something special about being back in the dense high mtn forest, on a superb summer evening, music playing, a stout capable rig, beautiful trails & my mediocre 4x4 skills that I can't put into words. You have to see, hear, feel, smell the experience 1st hand to truly understand.

I tend to have videos longer than the Instagram al

I tend to have videos longer than the Instagram algorithm says I should. Why? Because their algorithm isn't expecting people like me doing shit like this for hours on end. The algorithm is expecting short attention span viewers that can't focus for more than :30 & need copious manic :03 hard jump cuts. But since it's my feed & a historical representation of how I live... I'll do it the way I want to do it algorithm be damned. I don't want my nieces & nephew to look back on my life & see :15-:30 of vapid snippets with no context. I want them to look at the things I did & say, "damn, my uncle was legit". That won't happen with :15 of "WTF did I just watch" cookie cutter chaotic content. When you see my posts, there's no question about what the context is, what took place, is taking place, did take place.

A crackhead doesn't say, "I can't get high today because I'm broke." They find a way to make it happen.

Don't let a crackhead hustle harder than you.

Moments after the end of this video 1) A huge wind

Moments after the end of this video 1) A huge wind came & blew my hat off my head & down the side of the peak that I had to scale down to recover. But did. 2) as my hat left my head It knocked the single @samsung earbud out of my right ear down into a deep crack in the rocks which I spent 15 minutes trying to retrieve (because I could hear but not see it) but never got to it. So I abandon it at 11,500 ft. Twin Sisters you're welcome. A $200 run 🤣 ps - this is the same peak where I dropped my phone in the middle of a gnarly winter storm near whiteout conditions & somebody found it the following summer (working) & returned it to me 😮

The day before? A 45 mile, 3h 47m, 5324ft of vert road ride up left hand canyon to Brainard lake 👊

30mph, 1 handed, a scant 15" of surface width on parabolic rollers that also rock fore/aft under you. Not as easy as it looks.

On Saturday I did a big road ride up Trail Ridge R

Trail Ridge Road in @rockynps is officially open.

Trail Ridge Road in @rockynps is officially open. With a highpoint of ±12,300 feet (seen here at Rock Cut), the option to ride over the Continental Divide, over 6,000 feet of vertical if you head from the Fall River (East) entrance side to the Continental divide & back, a possible ± 50 miles (half that can be climbing), pass the Alpine Visitors Center at the top of Old Fall River Road (4x4, run, MTB route). I'll spend a lot of time earning vertical ascending & then bombing down HWY 34 this summer where I can easily hit 50mph. This was just the start. Oh & I didn't even mention the astounding alpine views of the Rocky Mountains nor the wildlife like big horn sheeps, elk, mule deer, moose, marmots.

4 weeks until @spartanraceitaly Belluno-Nevegal 🇮🇹

4 weeks until @spartanraceitaly Belluno-Nevegal 🇮🇹 races. A Beast (Italian National Champs race 2) & a Super. As expected for mountain races in the Dolomites, there's some legit elevation gain; 4921ft for the Beast & 2641ft for the Super. My mountain elevation training happens every weekend with B2B long, high, vert efforts. But during the week, I'll now ramp up my preferred method of "strength training". Keeping HR steady, but not jacked, constantly moving between numerous strength related moves & breaking it up with transitions to/from mile repeats that get continually faster each of the 5 rounds.
