Today one group I know were cycling around the L\u00e9man with a d\u00e9tour through the Alps, the second group were cycling from L’Horloge Fleurie around the lake at a speed of 27km\/h. A third group were cycling from Divonne to V\u00e9lomania around Vaud. A fourth were cycling a loop towards the Jura and back. The final group, that I joined, went for a 6.7km run around Nyon and then had a group brunch and green juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I’m feeling FOMO for the Divonne group, just because it has people I don’t know yet. I hate that I feel as if I miss out on every single weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality is that I’m not missing out on anything. This morning I felt tired and lazy, so running was the right choice. Tomorrow I’m going for a little walk. I’m going to walk from Aminona to Leukerbad, for 22kms and with 1200m of climbing. Last week I did 3800m of climbing on a bike over three rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t doubt my ability to do the walk. I’m impatient to be back in Leukerbad. It’s a majestic place to be. If I was alone the walk would be over within three or four hours, but with a group, with synchronisation stops, snack stops and more it will take seven hours I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not that I actually had a choice. The rides would definitely have tired me ahead of tomorrow. The run was at a comfortable pace. The person in front did pull the group though. I could feel that she was fast, that she was really slowing down. I kept checking the watch, to make sure I wasn’t faster than 6:00 minutes per kilometre. We kept drifting faster than that, so I tried to break. In the end the split did break in two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal was to meet people from yet another running group and I did. Now, on Saturday mornings I can choose to run with one or two groups. One at 8am, and the second at 9am, and theoretically I can then meet another group at 10 for a bike ride. The latter is unlikely, not because I don’t have the fitness, but because my bike is heavier. I fatigue sooner as a result. That is less fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

## Sources of Fatigue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow I will feel fatigue and it will come from two sources. The first is the pace. I like to walk at my pace, and I am efficient at my pace. Tomorrow I expect that I will be slowing myself down, when climbing and walking on the flat. The second is for breaks. In theory breaks are to rest, but for me breaks are when I deplete in energy. That’s when I feel more tired. Third and most important, when others break for lunch, I usually eat little. That thirty minutes to an hour spent on lunch is when I sit and wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m the type of hiker that hikes non-stop until the end of the hiking day, except to take a photos, and snack. I don’t want to stop because it’s after lunch that I struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

## Lived in the Moment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s worth highlighting that if I had gone for my original plan I would have been late for the group ride, and I would have had to play catch up, or at the very least, I would have had to interrupt one activity for the second. I lived in the moment and that’s important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing of tomorrow’s plan, helped me live in the moment today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is always when you don’t go with a group that you feel you missed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
