Cape Epic Battle Plan ...

[Wyatt Earp]

_{We really are getting to the enough is enough time.}

_{As stated earlier, I am a stickler for rules, but seriously, Enticement needs to show that he practices what he preaches:}

• _{Always be in shape}
  
• _{3 weeks can make a 60% improvement}
  

_{And that what he preaches is not absolute BS.}

 

_{So Enticement, Man up and accept an earlier challenge, or pack up your little tent and leave hub land.}

 

I am the fittest and the lightest I have been in 20 years.

Hut the scale at 125 kg's this morning.

10 kg. drop the past three weeks :D

Before you all report and this thread shuts down can I just ask Oom 'Tice one more time what the hell he means by 'anticipatory response training'. I googled this rather extensively and the best explanation I can find for 'anticipatory response' is pre-race nerves. However in Ticeland the term has a far greater meaning that I would like to understand so I can evaluate his offerings. I feel like a might be missing the secret ingredient that can give me that extra 60% before IM70.3.

 

I thought "anticipatory response" is what you (males) get when you look at the "tattoo, and other hotties" thread...

True, when someone uses the word "boobs" I anticipate a raise.

Your brain acts as the ultimate regulator from what happens inside your body. If you decide on Monday that you're going to do the 800m in a world record time and break 1:40 and have not conditioned yourself to do so, no matter what sports psychologist councils you, after about 20m your brain is going to start creating physiological barriers to make you stop. Your brain uses a mechanism called cognitive dissonance whereby it prevents you from taking yourself out. The purpose of conditioning/training is to create experiences that put the brain at ease and in so doing, convert the cognitive dissonance into cognitive association.

 

Preparing for the Epic? Simulate the exposure you will experience during the race, and your brain will anticipate that it already "has the T-shirt". That is why only time in saddle does not work for the Epic anymore - since the riders can accumulate UCI points, the technical standard and exertion requirement of the race route requires much more than that.

 

This is called "anticipatory response coaching" - you perform like you train.

Well this is new

 

 

 

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theatre of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

 

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

 

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to:

 

M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc. Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A.

 

along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

 

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

 

There can be only one.
