I'm always trying to get more organized. But even if I were to succeed, would it help me in triathlon?TRANSCRIPTThere's something I've been thinking about lately, and it has to do with organization.And I know, organization isn't exactly the most exciting topic in the world.But I've been thinking about it in a slightly different way.Because I've realized that I tend to think of organization as something that happens when my life gets too messy.I've got a desk covered in papers.I've got things on my calendar that I haven't dealt with.I've got little projects that I've started but haven't finished.I've got receipts that need to be submitted, notes that I wrote down because I didn't want to forget them, things that I need to file away, things that I need to follow up on.And my first reaction is usually:"God, I really need to get organized."And I think that's true.But a few days ago, I was looking at all of this stuff and I had a slightly different thought.Maybe all of this stuff is also evidence of a life that's being lived.Because those papers didn't just magically appear on my desk.They're there because I'm doing things.I'm interested in things.I'm starting things.I'm trying things.I'm thinking about things.And that doesn't mean that I should leave my desk looking like a disaster forever.But maybe I don't have to look at the mess and immediately see evidence that I'm failing at being organized.Maybe I can look at it and see evidence of a life with some interest in it.And that got me thinking about triathlon.Because if there's one hobby that can generate an absolutely ridiculous amount of stuff, it's triathlon.Three sports.Three sets of equipment.Training plans.Nutrition.Clothing.Shoes.Bikes.Goggles.Fins.Paddles.Snorkels.Heart-rate monitors.Power meters.Bike computers.Lights.Radar.Bottles.Gels.Electrolytes.And then you've got all the little things that have to happen before you actually do the workout.And sometimes I think that's one of the reasons training can feel overwhelming.You don't just have to do the workout.You have to prepare to do the workout.Take swimming, for example.I might have a swim scheduled.And in my head, that sounds pretty simple."Okay, I'm going swimming."But then I actually think about what that involves.I've got to get my swim bag.I've got to make sure I've got my goggles.I've got my cap.I've got my towel.I've got my snorkel.Maybe I've got paddles.Maybe I've got a pull buoy.I've got to know what the workout is.Maybe I've printed it out.And if I'm putting the workout beside the pool, I might even put the damn thing in a Ziploc bag so it doesn't get soaked.And suddenly, "I'm going swimming" has become this little logistical operation.And you can look at that and think:"Jesus. This is a lot of work just to go swimming."And that's where I think organization becomes really important.Because one of the great things about being organized is that it removes friction.If I put my running shoes by the door the night before, that's one less decision I have to make in the morning.If I've already prepared my bike bottles, that's one less thing I have to think about.If my watch is charged, I don't have to discover at the last minute that it's sitting at 14 percent.If my swim bag is already packed, I don't have to go hunting around the house looking for my snorkel.And these things sound incredibly trivial.But they're not.Because motivation is a funny thing.Sometimes you have plenty of motivation.You actually want to go for the run.You actually want to ride your bike.You actually want to get in the pool.And then you encounter five little obstacles.Where are my shoes?My watch is dead.I haven't made my drink.Where's my towel?What am I supposed to do for this workout?And suddenly that little bit of motivation has been chipped away.So I think one of the great purposes of organization is not necessarily to make you more motivated.It's to protect the motivation that you already have.And I really like that idea.But I think there's another layer to this.And that's where the idea of ritual comes in.Because there's a difference between doing something because you have to do it and doing something as part of a ritual.Think about making your coffee in the morning.You could describe it as a series of chores.Fill the machine.Grind the beans.Put the coffee in.Turn it on.Clean it up.Or you could think of it as a little morning ritual.And somehow, that changes the experience.And I think the same thing can happen with training.Take preparing a bottle of carb drink.You can think:"God, I have to make this stupid drink again."Or you can think:"Okay. I'm getting ready for my ride."And you get the bottle.You put the water in.You measure out the carbs.You add the electrolytes.You shake it up.You put it in the fridge.And that's not just a chore anymore.It's part of the ride.It's the beginning of the ride.The same thing with charging your watch.The same thing with laying out your clothes.The same thing with getting your shoes ready.The same thing with packing your swim bag.The same thing with putting that workout into the Ziploc bag.You can look at every one of those things and say:"This is stuff I have to do before I can train."Or you can say:"This is how I prepare to train."And those two sentences sound almost identical.But emotionally, they're completely different.One is a burden.The other is a ritual.And I think there's something really powerful in that distinction.Because we spend so much of our time trying to get to the thing we actually want to do.We rush through the preparation.We rush through getting ready.We think the preparation is just an annoying obstacle between us and the good part.But maybe the preparation is part of the good part.Maybe there's actually some pleasure in getting ready.There's something satisfying about seeing the bike bottles lined up.There's something satisfying about getting your kit laid out.There's something satisfying about knowing that everything is ready to go.And I think that's particularly true in triathlon because there are so many little rituals.You put on the cycling shoes.You get the bottles into the cages.You turn on the trainer.You pull up the workout.You put your headphones on.You get on the bike.And there's a transition that happens.You're no longer sitting around thinking about everything else in your life.You're becoming the person who's about to train.And maybe that's part of the value of ritual.It tells your brain:"Okay. We're doing this now."And I think this also changes the way we think about all of the equipment.Because if you're not careful, all of the stuff that comes with triathlon can feel overwhelming.You start thinking:Why do I have all this stuff?Why do I have five different kinds of nutrition?Why do I have all these swim toys?Why do I need this bike computer?Why do I have a radar?Why do I have this light?Why do I have these shoes?And you can certainly take it too far.Triathlon is an excellent hobby if you want to become an obsessive consumer of tiny improvements.There's always another piece of equipment.There's always another gadget.There's always another thing that might make you three percent faster.And I'm certainly not immune to that.But I've also started thinking that some of that stuff is part of what makes the sport interesting.Take swimming.Maybe you've got a snorkel.You can use it to work on your body position.You've got paddles.You can feel what your catch is doing.You've got fins.You've got a pull buoy.And suddenly swimming isn't just:"Get in the pool and swim back and forth."There's this whole little world of things to explore.And the bike is the same.You can get interested in power.You can get interested in aerodynamics.You can get interested in tires.You can get interested in nutrition.You can get interested in bike fit.You can get interested in training.And I think that's one of the things I love about triathlon.There's always something to be curious about.And that brings me back to my messy desk.Because maybe the desk and the triathlon gear aren't actually that different.The desk is covered with evidence of all the things I'm interested in.And the garage, or the swim bag, or the training calendar, is covered with evidence of all the things I'm interested in as well.And I don't think the answer is to eliminate all of that.I think the answer is to organize it.Not because those things are bad.But because I want to be able to enjoy them.And that's an important distinction.Organization shouldn't necessarily be about simplifying your life to the point where there's nothing left in it.Maybe it's about organizing your life well enough that you can enjoy its complexity.Because triathlon is complex.And that's part of the fun.But there's a danger here, too.Because you can take this idea of preparation and ritual too far.You can become so focused on preparing that you never actually do the workout.You can spend an hour researching the perfect nutrition strategy for a 45-minute run.You can spend all day organizing your training instead of training.You can convince yourself that you need one more piece of equipment before you can really get started.And that's not what I'm talking about.The ritual is supposed to lead you into the activity.It's not supposed to replace the activity.So I think there's a balance.Prepare enough that you remove the friction.Organize enough that you don't have to make a hundred little decisions.But then actually go and do the thing.And maybe that's the real purpose of organization.It's not about having a perfect desk.It's not about having a perfect calendar.It's not about having everything checked off.It's about making room for the things you care about.And that brings me back to something I've been thinking about a lot lately.Sometimes I look at my calendar and I see all of these unfinished things.And my immediate reaction is:"There's too much here."But maybe another way to look at it is:"Look at all the things I get to be interested in."And I think the same thing can happen with triathlon.You look at your training calendar and you think:"Oh my God. I've got all these workouts."You look at your swim bag and think:"Look at all this stuff I have to carry."You look at your bike and think:"Look at all these things I have to check."You look at your nutrition and think:"I have to prepare all of this again."Or you can take a moment and think:"How cool is this?"I get to swim.I get to ride my bike.I get to run.I get to learn about my body.I get to experiment with training.I get to figure out what works.I get to prepare for a race.And all of these little rituals are part of that experience.So maybe the goal isn't to get rid of the complexity.Maybe the goal is to make the complexity manageable.And maybe the goal isn't to eliminate all of the unfinished things on my desk.Maybe it's to give those things a place to live.Because there's a difference between being overwhelmed by your life and being surrounded by evidence that you're living an interesting life.And sometimes, honestly, I think I confuse the two.So the next time I'm standing in the kitchen making a bottle of carb drink before a ride, or charging my watch, or putting my shoes beside the door, or stuffing my swim workout into a Ziploc bag...Maybe I'll try not to think:"God, I have to do all this stuff before I can train."Maybe I'll think:"This is the beginning of my training."And maybe that's a small shift.But I think sometimes the small shifts are the ones that change the way we experience our lives.Because the training isn't just the hour on the bike.It's the preparation.It's the anticipation.It's the ritual.It's the workout.It's the recovery.It's thinking about what you're going to do next time.It's all of it.And maybe that's one of the reasons I love this ridiculous sport so much.There's just so much to it.And instead of seeing all of that as one more thing to organize...Maybe I can see it as one more thing to enjoy.

The Church in Sardis was dying and Jesus exhorted them to wake up—in short, He was offering spiritual defibrillator paddles.

Porsche intensiviert das Fahrerlebnis aller Taycan-Modelle mit dem neuen E-Shift-System, das mit virtuellen Gangwechseln und noch emotionalerem Electric Sport Sound sorgen für eine intensive Verbindung zwischen Fahrer und Fahrzeug. Zudem steht für das Topmodell Taycan Turbo GT mit Weissach-Paket erstmals auch direkt ab Werk ein Manthey Kit mit tiefgreifenden Modifikationen bereit.  Darum geht es diesmal!Zum neuen Modelljahr intensiviert Porsche das Fahrerlebnis aller Taycan-Modelle: Das neue E-Shift-System mit virtuellen Gangwechseln und der noch emotionalere Electric Sport Sound sorgen für eine intensive Verbindung zwischen Fahrer und Fahrzeug. Für das Topmodell Taycan Turbo GT mit Weissach-Paket steht ein Manthey Kit mit tiefgreifenden Modifikationen bereit, auf Wunsch erstmals auch direkt ab Werk. Power und Drive!    Porsche bietet seit Längerem für zahlreiche GT-Modelle Manthey Kits für die Rundstrecke an. Nun wird das Angebot erstmals auch auf einen Elektro-Sportwagen ausgeweitet. Das neue Manthey Kit mit umfangreichen Aerodynamik-, Fahrwerks- und Antriebsoptimierungen steigert die Performance des Porsche Taycan Turbo GT mit Weissach Paket nochmals deutlich. Auf der Nordschleife des Nürburgrings erzielte Lars Kern damit unlängst eine neue Bestzeit für Elektrofahrzeuge der Oberklasse.  Das Manthey Kit ist entweder als Nachrüst-Satz oder auch direkt ab Werk erhältlich. Auch in puncto Effizienz erreicht der Taycan eine neue Bestmarke: Für die heckgetriebenen Modelle stehen nun besonders rollwiderstandsarme Sommerreifen zur Verfügung. In Kombination mit der Performance-Batterie Plus ermöglichen sie erstmals bis zu 700 Kilometer WLTP-Reichweite. Damit wird der Taycan langstreckentauglicher denn je.Fahrspaß für alle Sinne: neue E-Shift-OptionMit der neuen E-Shift Option wird das Fahrerlebnis in allen Taycan auf Wunsch noch emotionaler, intensiver und multisensorisch erlebbar. Alternativ zum Automatik-Modus können Fahrer über die Paddles des GT-Sportlenkrads zwischen insgesamt acht virtuellen Gängen wechseln. Die Gangwechsel werden dabei realitätsnah simuliert: Spürbare Schaltrucke, ein gangspezifisches Schleppmoment – vergleichbar mit dem umgangssprachlich als Motorbremse bezeichneten Verhalten eines Verbrenners.Alle Fotos: © 2026 Dr. Ing. h.c.

Drei junge Männer sind bei einem Ausflug mit Stand-up-Paddles im Marchfeldkanal gestorben // Nach den beiden schweren Erdbeben in Venezuela rechnen die Helfer mit einer steigenden Opferzahl

Kane Williamson has pulled stumps, retiring from international cricket. The big question is, why now? Mid-series in England, with a mouth-watering test schedule over the next seven months, including a four-test tour of Australia —the one unconquered frontier for this NZ test team— and on the cusp of joining a very exclusive group of cricketers to have scored 10 thousand test runs. Why would Kane Williamson retire now? Firstly, he's never been motivated by his personal numbers. I don't think he could tell you how many test runs he's scored, but I reckon he might be able to tell you about the test victories he's been a part of. That's where he differed from the only other player who could challenge him as our greatest ever – Sir Richard Hadlee. Paddles was tremendously stats-driven, and his quest to reach personal milestones was to the immense benefit of New Zealand. The fact he wanted to achieve milestones and chase records helped the teams he played in achieve amazing things. Two very different players. Two very different approaches. Two equally effective methods. But Kane Williamson wouldn't have thought to himself, "If I hang around, I could bring up 10-thousand test runs." He would have thought, "What is best for the team?" If the best thing for the team was for him not to play, he would happily have carried the drinks. That was never in question, of course; certain players live above the selection line and if they're fit, they play. Kane was always above the line. If he was on 99 not out and the best thing for the team was to declare, he would have declared. If he got a duck but the team won, he would genuinely have been happier than if he got a double-hundred and they lost. His personal numbers were only relevant in the context of what those numbers —those runs— contributed to what the team achieved. And in a sport which is so stats-driven, and in which players live and die by the numbers, they were almost completely incidental to him. A good friend of mine messaged me about this, this morning and said, "Kane was a superstar who never sought to be a superstar." That sums it up very well. In the most individual of team sports, he was never anything other than the ultimate team man. We were lucky to have him. To witness his greatness, to benefit from his genius, to enjoy his generational ability to play a game we love so much. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We HIGHLY recommend watching this episode on our Youtube, to see the paddles.In this episode of Pad Wives Unfiltered, Sophie and Kirsha have paddles. They have opinions. And they do not always agree.Red Flag Green Flag: the new military relationship edition. Sophie and Kirsha work through the scenarios that every person who has ever started a relationship with someone in the military has either lived through or worried about — and they vote. Green paddle for pad wife approved. Red paddle for get in the bin. And when they land on opposite sides, which happens more than you might expect, that is where the real conversation starts.Scenarios covered include: the first date confession that the job will always come first. The unit friends who already have opinions about you before you have met them. Learning the rank structure when nobody asked you to. The posting news that comes before you feel ready. The homecoming that looks nothing like the TikTok version. The flowers he bought because he knew exactly what he was doing. And several others that are significantly harder to call than they first appear.This is the episode for anyone who is new to military life, navigating a new military relationship, or who has been in this life long enough to have feelings about every single one of these scenarios.Plus — the flags where Sophie and Kirsha genuinely cannot agree are the best bit. And there are several.Follow Pad Wives Unfiltered on Spotify so you never miss an episode. And drop your most controversial flag in the comments — we are making a Part 2.

Send us Fan MailA carbon fibre canoe paddle can sound like something meant for elite racers, but Chris from Ripple FX Paddles makes a convincing case that the right design is actually about making paddling simpler, smoother, and less punishing on your body. We're live at the Hamilton Adventure Expo as he shares what it's like to bring a new gear business into the real world, talk face-to-face with trippers, and watch people's reactions when they pick up an eight-ounce paddle for the first time. We get into the story behind Ripple FX, starting with an intense Muskoka River race that turned discomfort into obsession, friendships, and a desire to go faster and farther. When Chris's first carbon paddle arrived broken, he used it as a blueprint and taught himself composite building through trial, error, and relentless iteration. Along the way, he learned how bent shaft ergonomics can keep your top hand lower, reduce shoulder strain, and support sit-and-switch efficiency for long-distance canoe tripping and marathon-style paddling. Durability also gets a deep dive, especially for shallow-water routes where bottom strikes can chip blades and lead to delamination. Chris explains a replaceable fiberglass wear sleeve that can be epoxied on, worn down, and swapped out later, plus the kinds of strength tests he runs in the shop and the few things you simply shouldn't do with a lightweight composite paddle. If you care about canoe camping gear, backcountry performance, and smart design that's easy to live with, you'll get a lot from this conversation. Subscribe, share the episode with a paddling buddy, and leave a review.

There's a moment most people in our community know well. Your phone lights up with a message from your ex. Or you're sitting in the parking lot outside the courthouse. Or you're on the phone with your attorney and your voice starts shaking.You know the response you want to give. You know the person you want to be in that moment. And then something happens — a thought spiral, a surge of adrenaline, a reaction you didn't plan — and afterward, you're sitting there wondering what just happened.That's not a character flaw. That's dysregulation. And it is absolutely something you can learn to change.Our guest today, Bonnie Butler, knows this from two directions: as someone who lived through her own version of emotional chaos — adopting six traumatized teenagers at once after years of fostering — and as a certified emotional regulation coach who has helped hundreds of clients transform the way they respond to stress, conflict, and the impossible situations life throws at them.This conversation with Lisa is one of those episodes where you'll want to stop and take notes. Or maybe you'll just find yourself nodding along, because finally someone is naming what you've been experiencing.Timestamps:00:00 — Opening: the problem of knee-jerk reactions with a toxic ex01:20 — Bonnie defines emotional regulation in plain language03:45 — The pause technique: interrupting the thought spiral with a physical cue07:10 — Why holding your breath makes rational thought impossible09:30 — Bonnie introduces herself: from overwhelmed foster/adoptive mom to regulation coach14:00 — The turning point: hitting a wall and learning the hard way18:20 — Why no one ever teaches us to manage our emotions21:40 — Her 12-week program and what transformation actually looks like25:00 — Why clients resist the tools at first — and what happens when they try anyway29:15 — Self-regulation explained: what it feels like when you've got it33:00 — Co-regulation: how your state spreads to everyone around you37:20 — The heartbreaking thing that happens when kids try to regulate their parents40:45 — How modeling regulation teaches your kids to regulate themselves43:00 — "Name it to tame it": why naming an emotion is the first step to releasing it46:15 — "The anxiety I'm feeling" vs. "my anxiety": a small shift, a big door48:30 — Meet Jim: how one client made friends with their anxiety to stop being controlled by it51:00 — Our thoughts are not facts — and you don't have to keep every thought you have54:20 — The thought closet: choosing what you keep and what you let go57:00 — Change, loss, and grief — why healing always has a harder side01:01:00 — "Paddles in the canoe": taking back the steering wheel of your life01:04:30 — What you focus on grows: the profound shift in how Bonnie saw her own life01:08:00 — From "what might have been" to "what could be"01:12:00 — How to connect with BonnieConnect with Bonnie Butler:Website & booking: bonniebutlercoaching.comInstagram: @bonniebutlercoachingFacebook: Bonnie Butler CoachingEmail: bonnie@bonniebutlercoaching.com#EmotionalRegulation #HighConflictDivorce #CustodyBattle #CoParentingHelp #NarcissistEx #DivorceCoach #BonnieButler #BeenThereGotOut

PicklePod 2.0 is presented by Marek Health. Use our code THEDINK for 10% off your $299 Intake Assessment at https://MarekHealth.com/ The MLP draft just BROKE the internet… and we're unpacking all of it. From Anna Bright going for over $1 million to the Dallas Flash meltdown, this Major League Pickleball offseason might be more entertaining than the actual matches. We break down the bidding wars, the strategy behind youth vs. win-now rosters, whether Jack Sock is still a “fool me three times” situation, and why MLP might desperately need a salary cap (and floor). Then things get unhinged. James Ignatowich returns to the pod to talk about: - His UPA contract termination - Building RPM from scratch - Selling 10,000 paddles in a month - Why he's moving to China - Getting blocked by the PPA - Whether he's ever playing pro again - And yes… the Johnson siblings rumors We also dive into: - The new post-match cheating fines system - Why more transparency could grow the game - Whether one superstar pro is worth the ROI for a paddle brand - And the wild reality of manufacturing in China - This one is chaotic, honest, and surprisingly insightful.

This week, Zane is joined by The Dink's own Alex Weaver for a deep-dive into one of the wildest and fastest-growing problems in pickleball: counterfeit paddles flooding the market. You've seen them on T-Mu, Facebook Marketplace, maybe even at your local rec courts… but the scale of the problem is WAY bigger than most players realize. Alex breaks down: - How knockoff brands are copying top paddles within weeks of release - Why major companies are fighting regulatory “whack-a-mole” to get fakes removed - How players are getting tricked by manipulated Google listings and fake reviews - The real impact on innovation, quality, and the future of the sport - What USAP and UPAA are (finally) preparing to do about it - Why $30 “bargain paddles” often cost you more in the long run Whether you're shopping for a holiday gift, worried about getting duped, or just fascinated by the business side of the game, this is one of our most informative deep dives yet.

In this segment of Keep it Wild, we talk to Sarah Bransford from Friends of the Boundary Waters, an organization that is collaborating with the U.S. Forest Service and other partners on a series of live streams for youth and educators across the United States. The discussion centers around Live Stream #3: Water as Home, which focuses on "Leave No Trace" techniques and camping skills related to water and resource preservation, as well as living with wildlife in a wilderness setting. We also learn more about "No Boundaries to the Boundary Waters," and other youth initiatives created by the Friends of the Boundary Waters. (Photo by Sydney Robinson)

In 2019, Sarah Davis became the first woman to lead an expedition along the length of the Nile and joined me on the show in episodes 34 and 134 to discuss it.This time she returns to share her next epic adventure, in which she's swapping her paddles for pedals and will ride 5,000 unsupported across Australia!In this conversation, we discuss:* why, just 8 months after finishing her Nile expedition, she decided to paddle the length of Australia's longest river, the Murray - a journey of 2,500km* where (and when) the idea to ride across Australia came from,* the logistics involved and how she's preparing her body - and butt! - for the ride,* what she the Nile expedition taught her about risk management and how you can manage the risks associated with your adventures, * mental health challenges, eating disorders and developing a deeper appreciation for what your body can do, as opposed to what it looks like.

Four women have returned to the United States after an 80-day, 1,380-mile canoe journey from Lake Superior to Hudson Bay in Canada. The group, who call themselves the “Hudson Bay Girls,” believes they are the first publicly documented all-women crew to complete the historic route.But the trip was about more than just paddling. The crew aimed to raise awareness about environmental stewardship and encourage more women to reclaim space in paddle sports.Two members of the team, Abby Cichocki and Helena Karlstrom, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share their experience.
