TRIATHLON AND PETER’S DENIAL

We have been speaking about how difficult it is to teach.  We know that the majority of our children just listen, but they are not willing to believe or to pursue what they heard or saw.  Humans got to this point of apathy after so much disappointment on daily basis.  Children are less innocent and less experienced; bad combination that end up in failure to have a "good life."  My patients with panic attacks are the best example of what happens with the learning process we see in children.  They know and have been told that there is nothing physically wrong with them, but they end up in the emergency room because they think they have a heart attack.  That is why Albert Einstein said: “Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.” Jacques Lacan said before his death, after speaking most of his life about “the unconscious:” “L’amour, l’amour…c’est pour ça qu’on a inventé l’ inconscient (Jacques Lacan, Le Seminaire, Livre XX; 11).” Nowadays: stubbornness, laziness (even to think) and stupidity (we have facts but do not want to believe) have created the unconscious, and not love as Lacan said.

We spoke about Jan Frodeno,  22 avr. 2013 San Diego and Auckland Triathlons .  We know how fast he can ride and needs to ride in order to position him to run at the front.  Why we do not train the bicycle accordingly to be competitive.  370 watts average for an hour that is what is needed.  Depending on whether one wants to have a “wet run,” we need to be able to average close to 400 watts an hour to be able to have a “good wet run,” this is what is needed for a flat course as San Diego.  Stubbornness, laziness and stupidity prevent us for achieving the goal of cycling at a competitive level.  We can have excuses, which make the unconscious, but at the end, those three things are “what are making our unconscious.”  Swimming and running can give us certain advantage (running can make us win the race); but not being able to average 370 while riding the bike is a waste of time because we are not in a position of running or we cannot do a wet run.

We have seen what is mentioned above at the World Cup of Huatulco, where the winners came out of the water a minute behind.
