ZenTri 601 - Zen Thoughts and Eating Contests

Our resident Holistic Guru (A.K.A. Christine Lynch) joins us to talk about my blood tests and also how to win an eating contest.  She rocks, so pay attention!

And now for this week's happenings...

I snapped this pic while running with the dog.  We live on the edge of town, so I get to run through a nice mix of fields and houses.  Good stuff.

I keep salt pills in a tiny ziploc in the run bottle baggie handle-thing.  Thermo Tabs is the brand.  Super cheap and works great.

 During my final run of this year's Summer time trials, I double-flatted on some torn up sections of road.  Bummer!

Emily and Kai picked me up after I walked my bike to the finish line.  55 minutes to what normally takes me under 31.  And HOT!

We're moving to a new house with a bit more room, so we got to load up the Xterra for what it was meant for.

It's so cool using a purpose-built machine for what it was made!  Sports heaven.

I've also discovered a podcast absolutely loaded with great tips for living in today's world.  It's called, "The One You Feed."

I've listened to so many episodes, I'm now hating how they repeat the same wolf story parable at the intro of each one.  It feels so smug, I've started calling it the "terrible parable."  I've clearly overdosed and hit the saturation point. lol.

Lastly, I'm going back to latex tubes.
 

While being more work to keep aired up, the speed benefits are undeniable.  It's one luxury that I'll grant myself.  If you're going to spend that much time on a bike, do it right.

Alright, that's it!  And listen in to lots of Zen tips I give in the front half of the show as well.  You might find something you like. :)
