My TriDot Dot History, Past Present and Future Fitness




So I have been with TriDot since 2016. One of the things I like best about TriDot are the DOTS! What are the Dots you ask? Well, TriDot is based on big data and analytics to plot (Dot), map and guide you through triathlon fitness and training. The DOTS are a ranking system (1-100) to measure your current state and improvement in the individual swimming, biking and running and overall Tridot Score.

Does the fitness plan or triathlon training plan you follow have a raking system to track your fitness and improvements?

When I started with TriDot here were my Dots-

  • SwimDot- 64
  • BikeDot- 53
  • RunDot- 62
  • Composite- 57
My Highest Dots were
  • SwimDot- 64
  • BikeDot- 56
  • RunDot- 68
  • Composite- 61
Current TriDots after this weeks Assessments, after not training or racing last season. I workout out here and there and my fitness varied, but now I am coming off dealing with some family history health issues, focusing on work and not eating 100% great...
  • SwimDot- 58
  • BikeDot- 49
  • RunDot- 37
  • Composite- 45
I am currently the heaviest I have been at 179 (my fighting and race weight is 145-150)
I just ran the slowest 5k I can ever remember. BUT it is not a time for excuses or to feel down. It is time to get to WORK. It is time to the Live to the PLUS!

I am signed up for the GreatFloridian Tri for October 2020. This race was my first full distance 140.6 tri in 2000. Next year will be my 20th anniversary for this event. I will be documenting my training and improvement (My TriDots) every month. I guess you can say this my version of Coach to 5k or overcoming my ebs and flow to health, fitness and weight.

I guess you ask yourself, are coaches supposed to be 100% fit and fast all the time to be a good coach? What comes to mind is Bella Caroly, could he do everything those little girls could do on that mat? Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps coach, could he keep up with the Olympians he coached.

I think my experience in these ebs and flows of health and performance makes me a better coach. If I was an elite racer all the time always on podiums, how much time and care would I have to help others down there path?

If you want to follow me on this journey as this 43 year old tries to beat his 23 year old self in a 140.6. If you want to join me in this journey and see your TriDots or overall fitness improve to reach your goals. Feel free to call, text or email me at nicktotheplus@gmail.com or 210.843.4130

Waking up on Saturday Morning

Image
This morning we slept in. I guess when I have the option, I’ll sleep in. Most days I’m up before 6, 6 is the latest. Most Saturday’s I am up for an event, working, volunteering, supporting others or racing. This is TriLife. I love waking up before the sun. The morning air, hearing the birds wake up. The calm that most people are not up and no traffic. My absolute favorite way to wake up is swim in the Comal from LPE ( Last Public Exit) I also love the feeling, that is not too often, is waking up on a Saturday and not having to go to work, but to work on the things I want. How do you fell when you don’t have to go to work but you can work on the things you want? I am not talking about doing yard work, carting family around, paying bills... I am talking about the things YOU want to do, the things that make you feel like you are creative, like you produced something, something that is a personal accomplishment. This can also include exercise, self development, learning. How often d

Mono-cropping, Glyphosate our Soil and our Future

Wrath of the Titans (2012) Cyclops Attack Scene - Cyclops Battle - Movie Clip HD TM & © Warner Bros. (2012) Fair use. Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 This is what I think about when I think about mono-cropping. This is strictly from my experience and from what I have learned, I am not an expert. Mono-cropping, has one crop, one function, one eye, one perspective, one intention, and one fatal outcome.  Mono-cropping with Glyphosate is like everywhere the Cyclops was he had deadly farts to everything around him. This is not to fart from the truth. I honestly don't not know what Glyphosate smells like, but it for sure is deadly to all biology except GMO it touches. Did you know Monsanto started out as a chemical weapons company in Vietnam and...

Living to the Plus- Connection- Networking- Groups - Mentors - Leaders- Servant Leaders

How is your connection or connections? Do you have a support chain or network? Do you know networking is one of the greatest super powers? The phrase "it's not what you know but who you know" can truly be used to your advantage or detriment on how you use your network. If you have a passion or an objective, you can only do so much alone. Yet if you have an established network of resources, you can ask for help, delegate and collaborate to accomplish your goal faster, stronger and more effective. Another form of networking is groups and a way to connect. Weather it be on social media or (not in Vid-19 times) in person. Groups offer a bank of people and resources. If you utilize them effectively they can help motivate, keep you accountable and to help you reach your goals. What groups are you in and how do they benefit you? They say in order to become a Master at something you have to do that action or skill 10,000 times. Are you a Master at anything? How much time or times
