I’ve been a spectator at several Ironman races, including Worlds in Hawaii.
St. George, Utah will host Worlds May 2022, the first time the race has been moved out of Hawaii. AND Kona will host Worlds in October 2022. So there will be 2 races called “Worlds” in 2022. All because of Covid.
St. George also hosted Half Ironman Worlds September 2021. It’s only70.3 miles. 😀
The race is interesting. But I post this video because it is SO. WELL. EDITED.
Masterful storytelling. Jenna Haufler and Miguel Mattox. A cute couple.
EASIEST is the handlebar mount. Turn on the GoPro whenever you might want to show the trail. Quickly remove it to use off the bike anywhere along the road.
BEST is the selfie stick. But you end up riding with only one hand. Or trying to connect a tripod to the bike.
I’m planning to use the Blendr system for the handlebar mount. Rock solid.
They first heard of Covid on January 8th, 2020. And instantly switched from the Cancer therapy they had been researching for two decades — to Covid.
By March 2020, they had five vaccine candidates ready to test in humans, and by November 2020, results indicated that the vaccine was more than 90% effective.
mRNA could be used for future vaccines even more quickly next time. BUT we should build manufacturing capacity NOW to be ready for the next one.
The audio book is even better, by my favourite reader Gerald Doyle.
Mark did not touch cash for over 3 years, writing about his experience in The Moneyless Man.
Later, he tried living with as little modern technology as possible.
It was 11pm when I checked my email for the last time and turned off my phone for what I hoped would be forever.
No running water, no car, no electricity or any of the things it powers: the internet, phone, washing machine, radio or light bulb. Just a wooden cabin, on a smallholding, by the edge of a stand of spruce.
In this honest and lyrical account of a remarkable life without modern technology, Mark Boyle explores the hard won joys of building a home with his bare hands, learning to make fire, collecting water from the spring, foraging and fishing.
What he finds is an elemental life, one governed by the rhythms of the sun and seasons, where life and death dance in a primal landscape of blood, wood, muck, water, and fire – much the same life we have lived for most of our time on earth. Revisiting it brings a deep insight into what it means to be human at a time when the boundaries between man and machine are blurring.
