At the start of 2023, and rounding out the second year of this little experiment of mine, still felt strong/sharp and surmized that there was still plenty of runway for how long/far my limits could be pushed.

2023 also saw an introduction of new activities into the monthly rotation of sports. By so doing, also stumble on a strange and interesting paradox - the focus of energy/effort to succeed at a giving sporting activity is often very different than where we think it should be. For example, in Kayaking/Rowing, power comes from the hips not the arms or upper body; To gain more control by giving up control; To witness more improvement in a specific sporting activity not by spending more time engaged in that activity but by engaging in a wider range of OTHER activities!

There’s also the ‘Training-Injury Prevention Paradox’ model; a phenomenon whereby athletes accustomed to high training loads have fewer injuries than athletes training at lower workloads…but need more personal data to prove this model.
