HOW TO KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE

HOW TO KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE

I SAW SOMETHING TODAY that was completely ridiculous. Watching the Giro, the overall race leader just blew my mind...

... was he mocking the competition?

Or, is he just that good?

I know how insane it was,
because I've tried.

And, it's impossible.

Imagine this...

  • you're racing up a massive mountain climb
  • going for all out
  • the air is thin

... and ...

... wait for it...

... you're nose breathing!

Mouth is closed,
like your meditating,
or on a hammock reading a book.

That is what Issac Del Toro was doing this morning on his way to gaining yet more time on his rivals in the Giro.

Insane!

I can do Zone 1...

  • with massive effort
  • concentrating
  • relaxing

... practice all you want.

I did, because... 

  • helps maintain optimal oxygen/carbon dioxide balance and improve endurance
  • engages diaphragm which is a more efficient way to breath
  • reduces dehydration

... the benefits are many.

Lemme just say, if one of y'all were nose breathing, while I was mouth gasping...

... I'd know it was over.

For.
Sure.

As cool as this jersey is, I don't even think it's vibe could help me keep my breathing under control.
