#Concept2 logbook 42 year old male free
The most part this set of thinkers explained away both free will and Mind if they believed in free will and consciousness. In this book, Blackmore asked many of the best thinkers of the new science of Read a book called Conversations on Consciousness: What the Best Minds ThinkĪbout the Brain, Free Will, and What It Means to Be Human by Susan Blackmore. I had long avoided studying the concept of free will until I Perhaps the most intriguing thing for me is to watch the familiar patterns of human behavior in the attacks, denials, and defenses. There is something very unjust about the belated justice that is being meted out to Lance now. The real shame is that he was allowed to go on for so long. I think that Lance quite possibly would have been the best cyclist of his generation anyway we'll never know for sure.I am not excusing Lance, just saying that I've enjoyed him regardless, for being an entertaining, fierce competitor. One interesting point about all this is that even though I have long considered Lance to be an under-the-radar doper, I have rooted for him nonetheless. Floyd Landis even admits, "He was a badass on the bike." In spite of all the hearsay and allegations I have always been excited by Lance's extreme competitiveness. Besides all this, Lance passed over 500 drug tests (or did he?). His hematocrit was always very "healthy," but never exceeded 50 percent. Moreover, I figured that since Lance only had one testicle, he had to be getting his testosterone from somewhere. I assumed that all the top cycling competitors were doping to the extent that the doping controls could not definitively detect all those that finished on the podium in the Tour de France during the years of Lance's seven victories were all involved in some doping scandal in their careers. Over the years I kept abreast of doping allegations but I was never too concerned about the possibility that Lance was a doper I assumed he was. I cannot think of any other athlete that has captured my attention and imagination as Lance has. I followed Lance's twitter updates during his comeback. I watched bicycle racing DVDs for countless hours while exercising on my indoor trainer. I watched him daily starting at 5:30 A.M.PST during the Tour de France. I have had a picture of Lance Armstrong in my office for maybe eight years (Tour de France 2003 Stage 15 Luz Ardiden). Much has been written about Lance Armstrong that I will not repeat here, but I do want to write a few things. This is a great sporting event and hard work wins it.” -Lance Armstrong (Farewell speech at the Champs-Élysées podium, after winning his seventh Tour de France.) Not even my Hoka One One Bondi Bs could compensate for my lack of training for the run. My stomach was fine but my legs just got worse. I must have used the port-a-potty 10 times including mile 25, haha. I walked through every aid station and drank, and drank, and drank Perform, ate ripe bananas, had some Gu gels, water, Red Bull, and Cola. I thought that my priority should be to feed my legs. I decided not to worry about potential gastrointestinal problems like I had last time (Ironman Arizona 2005), nor worry about needing to take many port-a-potty breaks if I drank too much. When I started to become alarmed that my legs were not settling in to the run, I decided that I was going to flood my system with fluids, calories, and electrolytes. I thought that my legs would loosen up eventually. I ran easy to find my running legs and relax the cramps in my left quad.
It didn’t take long to realize that I undertrained the run (I suspected as much). Ideally I should diet more and exercise less. I don't think it will help my longevity and I think I should find something else to motivate me. She seemed very amenable when I said I didn't ever want to do another Ironman. And like always, Pam was very supportive and texted all the kids that I was finished and still alive. The next day Pam and I walked through the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden I couldn't have done that if I hadn't walked some of those miles in the Ironman. I would have walked more miles but I was worried about making Pam wait at the finish line. I wondered where the springs in my legs went, the springs that I had as a younger man. I probably walked 6+ miles. I still was uncomfortable during the run. I also walked miles 14, 15, first half of 16, all uphills and downhills, and much of mile 25.
I was hoping to do a little better but when I realized that my time was not close to previous performances I decided to slow way down on the run and just finish without killing myself. I didn't train as hard and finished two hours slower than last time.
I decided to do another Ironman just to give myself motivation to exercise and to try to keep some weight off my body.
