ARE YOU FEELIN' IT?
MODERN TECH is encroaching on all areas of our training. What started with the humble Polar HR monitor, now tracks power, sleep, insulin levels, and so much more. Bring in AI to mash all that data...
... and what do we have?
A disconnect.
I stopped looking at my power on hard training rides because I'd see 400 watts and think...
... well I can't hold that.
HR isn't so bad, because of the lag.
Still, look down and see 170+ bpm and it's hard as heck to not let...
... worry and doubt creep in.
Most short, violent races, like XC MTB, I keep the head unit in my jersey pocket.
The action is too fast to analyze,
no time for decisions.
Just race.
On feel.
This week, for fun, the only thing my monitor is going to be showing me is time.
The goal is to disconnect...
... to reconnect the endurance soul.
