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.
