No. The last several paragraphs of this require considerable editing but there is not the time or energy to do so right now. This was an important day. It's not the end, beginning of what happened the next day.
Yesterday afternoon James was really desperate. Please, sol, please just show me some way to participate meaningfully. Whatever small way. Some thoughts on that occurred
during the night. The journey today 35 minutes ago began with much that thought in mind.
during the night. The journey today 35 minutes ago began with much that thought in mind.
And maybe more specifically, Please let me participate with the momentum of the vehicle.
This is feeling singularly promising. Is it world class? No. Could it lead their? Possibly, but James that is not your concern. Don't let that be your concern. It is meaningful participation. The metrics on James power contribution are Pretty weak but not compared with averages of recent weeks. And it is vastly more Satisfying and self Sustaining from a tactile feedback standpoint.
Item. This does not require the complication of trying to Be tightly in touch with Saul although almost certainly it achieves exactly that period
Item. The singular thought is to Maintain the sensation of participating in the momentum, with the momentum , of the payload that is us, in the area of the knees.
Item. Understandably James' body wants to be able to make saul roll. And unfortunately there are brief segments of time where it seems like this is achieved. Unfortunately, because by all evidence that is not physically or psychologically sustainable. It's too complex, and/or to inefficient, or whatever.
What's happening so far today is No thought of a linkage to saul mechanically. But again, near certainly that's happening at a pretty high level. But the elegant simplicity is all James is attempting is to never for an instant in the cycle to lose the sensation of the knees participating with the momentum of the payload that is us.
Cycling continued. And now the Ball at the knees from Iowa is occasionly back! Today. There is no linkage to saul. This is so liberating, 0 offense to sol. There is no apparent linkage to sol, which profoundly simplifies the job that James has. His job is to maintain a relationship with the momentum experienced at his knees.
Near certainly this Is an intimate linkage to sol but there is no slightest attempt to experience that period it must be that the body and metal mechanics of this cycle is that when James minds his own business, which is to participate with the momentum at his knees, In the area of his knees, between his knees, when he minds that business The rest take care takes care of itself near perfectly. May be perfectly.
This has the appearance of being quite revolutionary.
Revolutionary and not. It has happened before but not with this level of understanding.
It was Iowa. It even occurred in brief junctures this Winter in all that dreadfully difficult climbing. But James mental imagery and understanding was unable to hold on to it and/or bring it back. Maybe the understanding expressed here will change that period
He thinks it may.
Cycling continued.
James, some extremely important notes.
item. There is 0, 0, 0, attempt to move saul, Exert pressure on saul in any way in the slightest. If anything, the opposit. This is leaving saul entirely to its business, and minding James own business as described above, participating in the momentum of his knees and secondarily thighs uninterrupted. This is unbelievable. But James, trust me, this is what's happening. And although Iowa may have been understood differently this is what was happening in Iowa.
Cycling continued.
Item. Fluid momentum. The word fluid is proving very helpful today and it probably will be very useful going forward. What it does is help to legs avoid their tremendous inclination to find physical limits, physical resting points, physical leverage points to do with saul and the pedal. there is no indication that achieving any of that is ever helpful. Certainly not for the type of work that James is attempting to do. Relatively automatic physically and neurological I satisfying contribution a, assistance, of the movement of saul. Sal being the primary force. attempting any of the above or allowing, not stopping, the attempt of any of the above eliminates fluidity and introduces a jabbing, punching, Erratic type of motions that saul is completely unimpressed with and are very draining of the body and defeating of the notion of meaningful participation. Lots of disadvantages to leaving that unresolv'd and no apparent advantages. And yet the body is so insistent. The notion of for ticipate ing in the fluid momentum of saul with the knees and thighs is proving very helpful in constraining and even automatically eliminating those attempts at Ridgid linkage.
Cycling continued. This is most inconclusive but extremely promising. The notion and exercise of fluid for the last hour as just discussed has led to something entirely new. Fluid hydraulic. This is experienced as very promising. The legs have a substantial tendency to find and try and use the limits of each stroke for example. And as mentioned above this seems to be always always always detrimental but so hard to get the legs to cease and desist that period Then At least for the last half hour the legs take from that that they are never to be seeking limits, they are to be all the more carefully seeking to participate in the hydraulic movement. There was something like this the briefly occurred in the impossibly difficult winter months at Lone Pine.

And as mentioned above this seems to be always always always detrimental but so hard to get the legs to cease and desist that period The notion of hydraulic seems to be doing just that by giving the legs another idea what they should try it be trying to do. The notion of hydraulic at least for the last half hour the legs take from that that they are never to be seeking limits, they are to be all the more carefully seeking to participate in the hydraulic movement. There was something like this that briefly occurred in the impossibly difficult which are months at standing rock. And it was not maintained. James thinks it is here let's more likely now with all his additional experience that Seeming fairly critical. The body moment to moment seems to be quite happily solving that on the fly. In line with similar previous observations it does seem to be some function of resistance at the moment, cadence Kaaba attempted acceleration or deceleration, and whether the capacity of the legs is taxed at the moment, that they are being sort of tied up on the edge of over exerting or whether they feel some freedom to play..
