Zen Handups: April 2014
http://vince-anila.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Zen Bikes. Life. Saturday, April 26, 2014. Kept saying "she attained moksha. None of us is separate here in the utter mystery of this new absence. I watch my wife each time the priest says "you can pray to your mom. If you close your eyes and picture her, do namaskaram. All these people keep saying, "she is free now." And I know there is truth here, and somewhere some relief. I cannot yet feel it, though, even though I hope my athamma. For the duration of your call; of snail mail that may or may not ever...

Zen Handups: May 2015
http://vince-anila.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Zen Bikes. Life. Monday, May 25, 2015. 50K, Day by Day. But often, as soon as I know I can for sure do something, I lose interest - at least a little. So this September thing has me entranced, to say the least. Last year in Zion. For all my long runs here on out, and for the 50K as well, my job is just to cover the distance. I don't care how fast or who I beat. And I really can't explain how nice I find it to run this way. How I have to feel after every long run from now until September? The first half o...

Are a time-honored cyclocross tradition whereby spectators hand out things to bike racers as they pass by, caked in mud and suffering: beer, dollar bills, bacon slices, insults. . . .

Zen Handups: Zen Koans and OODA Loops
http://vince-anila.blogspot.com/2015/04/zen-koans-and-ooda-loops.html
Zen Bikes. Life. Friday, April 24, 2015. Zen Koans and OODA Loops. Trauma experts speak of something called the OODA loop to describe the process of decision-making. First, we Observe a situation: What is this? We then Orient ourselves to it: What is my relationship to it? In the interview room at Still Point Zen Buddhist Temple in Detroit, I sometimes ask people “What color is this? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Handups" . . . Still Point Zen. Detroit.

Zen Handups: October 2014
http://vince-anila.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Zen Bikes. Life. Friday, October 17, 2014. The Winter I Learned to Ski. I must have been roughly my daughter's current age - ten and change - when I found in downhill skiing everything my life felt like it was not otherwise at the time. She'd ask me much later from her deathbed, just the two of us, when I had asked if she was afraid of dying. "There's no judgment, no past or future. There's just acceptance and peace. That's all there is.". My abiding memories of those days were skiing through the trees a...

Zen Handups: CamelBak Quick Grip Chill vs. Amphipod Hydraform Ergo-Lite Ultra: Quick Review
http://vince-anila.blogspot.com/2015/04/camelbak-quick-grip-chill-quick-review.html
Zen Bikes. Life. Thursday, April 30, 2015. CamelBak Quick Grip Chill vs. Amphipod Hydraform Ergo-Lite Ultra: Quick Review. From among the choices at my local REI, I chose this handheld for several reasons. The bottle itself is nice - I've used one for cycling before (it's insulated, and the nozzle locks if you want it to). And I'm just generally wary of stuff that looks good in the store but doesn't function, like backpacks with 147 straps hanging off them, or floor vacuums with any. So then I picked up ...

Zen Handups: June 2015
http://vince-anila.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Zen Bikes. Life. Monday, June 15, 2015. This is What You Came Here For. Slept four hours for an early drive up, which had us braking hard at one point to watch a deer no shit floating 25 feet in the air after being struck by the car just in front of us. That's me at the start nursing my hip already. Second from the left. I finished fully fucked and just thinking of the call I'd make to see how my daughter was doing. When I found the Elvis encampment, Mike asked first thing, "How is she? Regarding the MUT...

Zen Handups: December 2014

Zen Bikes. Life. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. It seems that human beings don't wake up unless we're compelled to compete for prizes. We're not ostriches; why must we run races? We're not seals; why the swimming contests? We're not kittens; why scramble for a ball? Zen Master Kodo Sawaki (1880-1965). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Handups" . . . Still Point Zen. Detroit.

Mom and Pop Racing: Barry- Roubaix Killer Gravel Road Race
http://momandpopracing.blogspot.com/2012/03/barry-roubaix-killer-gravel-road-race.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. Barry- Roubaix Killer Gravel Road Race. March provided Michigan with summer like weather and the 24th was no exception. The weather was perfect for the fourth iteration of the Barry Roubaix- Killer Gravel Road Race, held in beautiful Barry County. By the time breakfast was done, Todd, Wendy, and Kim had made it to the registration area and everyone hooked up. After some quick discussions on race strategy and kitting up we had just enough time to make it to the start line. I̵...
