A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of the countries.

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?"

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied "Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."

Motivation for the rest day.


My first collegiate soccer coach (Frank K) was one of the toughest men I've ever met. Although he was physically strong, his toughness was largely mental. During my freshman preseason, Frank would gather the team every few days and talk us through sport psychology sessions. He understood that the mind was the most powerful resource and that the collective mind of the team could be unbeatable if we all shared the unconditional belief that we controlled our destiny. The outcome of every game was dependent on our mental resolve. One mental drill that I remember vividly is word association. Frank would give us one word, and as team we would create a definition. Our collective mind would determine the meaning and value of that word. We would set a standard that would be represented by that word. Then, for the rest of the season, as individuals and as a team, we could rely on that word to give us strength. When shit hit the fan, anyone on the team could say that word aloud and we would all synchronize our thoughts and emotions. Our resolve would be renewed because we all knew what that word meant to us as a unit. As individuals and as a team, we would all instantly embody that word. Everything else would fade away and we would become unbeatable.

Unfortunately, I don't remember all the words we used. But the one word I remember is "toughness".

Toughness:
Able to withstand great strain without tearing or breaking; strong and resilient

Physically hardy; rugged

Severe; harsh

Aggressive

Strong-minded; resolute

The ability of a metal to deform plastically and to absorb energy in the process before fracture is termed toughness. The emphasis of this definition should be placed on the ability to absorb energy before fracture. Recall that ductility is a measure of how much something deforms plastically before fracture, but just because a material is ductile does not make it tough. The key to toughness is a good combination of strength and ductility. A material with high strength and high ductility will have more toughness than a material with low strength and high ductility. Therefore, one way to measure toughness is by calculating the area under the stress strain curve from a tensile test. This value is simply called "material toughness" and it has units of energy per volume. Material toughness equates to a slow absorption of energy by the material.



The final definition above refers to metal, but it is directly applicable to the human mind. "Ductility" refers to the mind's ability to flex. You can make the choice be afraid or you can make the choice to be resolute. And if you chose to be resolute, how much can you flex before you break? The "ductility" of your mind does not necessarily make you tough. "The key to toughness is a good combination of strength and ductility." Physical strength combined with a mind that can absorb pain makes a person tough. A mind with high ductility and high strength is immeasurably tough.

I'm going to revisit this post throughout my preparation in order rejuvenate my resolute mind.

Wednesday

TD73 110922

Thursday is an active recovery day. My goal is to get to the pool at lunch.

PMT1
Pool WOD
1000m swim at a relaxed pace

PMT2
Hot flow yoga

Yoga and swimming take a lot out of me, but they totally relax my muscles. My legs are a little shot from the last two days. Friday (TD72) will be a full rest day because I have duty. I'm going to attempt to squeeze in some POSE drills and stretch prior to checking in. Ideally I'll be back in the water on Saturday (TD71) after I get relieved. If I have the energy, I'll get in WOD on Saturday as well.

HITS Triathlon Series Dec 3-4, 2011

2.4 Mile Swim
112 Mile Bike
26.2 Mile Run

I'll use this blog to track my training.

75 Training days starting today (110920)

Key Training Focus Points:
#1) Stay Healthy and DON'T over train
#2) Teqnique
#3) Intensity
#4) Volume

Starting next week I'm going to dive into a 6 week POSE running technique cycle. I've been using this programming all summer, just not religiously. These next 6 weeks will be heavily technique driven, especially in regards to running. I need to reinforce good form so that I don't break down on the marathon. I'll also be drilling my pedal stroke and CSS swimming; however, running form will be my number one technique priority. During the next 6 weeks I'll also be putting a large emphasis on intensity. WODs will be provided by Oceanside CrossFit. In addition, I'll be utilizing a strength bias based on a bastardized Westside Barbell program. This 6 week cycle should take me to training day 30ish (early November). At that point, if my technique is solid enough, I'm going to throw in some volume on the bike and the run. Ideally I want to complete one 13.1 mile run and one 50 to 60 mile bike prior to the race. Around training day 15 I'm going to start scaling back the volume. The frequency of high intensity training will also be reduced. I'll just take it day-by-day until around training day 5.

I also have another Sprint Tri on 30 October, which will give me one more chance to compete before the race.

As I mentioned above, staying healthy is my #1 priority. My training schedule will roughly follow the "3 days on, 1 day off" model. But I will take rest days as needed. I'm going to work a lot of mobility drills and active recovery training IOT keep myself healthy. I'm also going to have to kick my candy addiction. FML.

None of this training program is mine. I'm stealing from CrossFit.com, Oceanside CrossFit, CrossFit Endurance, Westside Barbell, Mobility WOD, and many others. According to Mark Bell, I only have to give all these guys credit (publicly) two more times... then this program is all mine. Mark can consider this reference to his name as the first of three public credits... after the next two, the idea of "three public credit ownership" is all mine too... until someone gives me public credit three times... then I lose... I think...
