Weekly Weight Check In: November 11, 2019

Comments

last year at this time, I was in the low 180's. Holiday tradition of gaining weight it. This year I am going to fight the pounds. Plus, I want to be 15% body fat when I do the Sprint triationlon August 2020. My current goal is to be 15% body fat August 3, 2020 or 171 pounds.

On Myfitnesspal, I am trying out checkins on the community board to help me with my weight loss. I might as well put it on my blog.

Weight will be reported using: exponentially smoothed moving average with 10% smoothing. (Hacker's Diet)

Today: 200.3 Last Monday: 201.1 Delta: 0.8

267 days to go or 0.76 pounds per week.

Ride Santa Barbara 100, a climb too far

Comments

Well, I actually tried the RIDESB100 this weekend. There where four routes: 39 miles, 100 km, 100 km with Gibraltar, and the century. I did not finish the ride. At around 43 miles and two miles to the top of Gibraltar, my legs gave out. The last climb before the top was just a killer. The final climb before the top was too much. At two miles away from the top, I just did not want to do the last climb. Also, my bike decided that it would not go into the lowest gear.

What I learned:

  • Have my bike checked out before the ride.

  • Have two water bottles on the bike.

  • Have some hydration tablets to put in the water.

  • Have some sort of concentrated calories that is easy to fit in the jersey pocket.

Night before SB 100

Comments

I am going to ride in the Santa Barbara 100. Actually going for the 100 mile ride. Part of me feels like it is hubris on my side to try it as my first ride of this sort. The 100 km or 39 mile right would have been a better choice.

Well, no guts no glory.

Without Sin

Comments

I admit, I am far from being a good Christian. It is a standard that is hard to live by. One quote has been nagging me lately, the other has to go with it.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

—John 8:7

What follows is:

...And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more

—John 8:11

Forgiveness, atonement and redemtion is important for a gentle and truly inclusive world.

Fun race. We actually had some wind. We need to work on being comfortable sailing wing on wing. Wing on wing is a little harry and not even intuitive. Wing on Wing is slower sailing. It is a form of turning an asymmetrical boat into a symmetrical shoot boat. What it does in proper situations is increases VMG.
