Coach:
Loved the DL from SM regarding the ego checking in during his breakaway. Often, other students’ thoughts mirror what is going on for others. I too have been struggling with the interfering ego during hard efforts in races/practice crits/club rides. For me, the little voice says “hey, you’re in a break with a strong Cat. II and the 40+ state champion. Whoaa.” I TAF that is why I crashed for no apparent reason in my last race – the ego saw it was in the break, and FREAKED.
Because of this, I am looking at each bridge, each time when I think I can’t go any harder and do, as a victory.

Coach’s Teachings
Most teachings are for Wholistic Fitness Members only. Some are complimentary.
These teachings are the "Rasas" or "sap" of Wholistic Fitness. You’ll find insights to ponder, student chi to keep your own chi topped off, and plenty of proven training techniques to test on your own body, mind, and spirit! Also, you’ll find my very popular Race Reports, and news of our Sangha’s (community’s) latest transpersonal fitness adventures!
You have access to thousands of posts going all the way back to 2002. The Archives makes for ideal Svadhyaya, and if you don’t know what that important term means ... all the more reason to dive into these amazing WF Scriptural Recordings!
Checking out one or two archived teachings every day or so is an AMAZINGLY EFFECTIVE way to stay connected with your Tribe AND maintain consistency and motivation in what matters most: your own practice.
Note: We'll be fixing broken image links, and cleaning up the categorization of archived posts, over time.
