It took a lot of work at every level, but I think now people finally understand what I’ve always known. I’m not a grinder. I’m not a gimmick. And, in general, I’m just not a big guy. But I don’t need to be. I’m a hockey player.

I don’t blog about sports, but early this morning my favourite athlete Johnny ‘Hockey’ Gaudreau was knocked off his bicycle and killed along with his younger brother the night before their sister’s wedding. He had just turned 31 years old, married his next door neighbour and had a toddler daughter and a 6 month old son (who were planned to be flower girl and ring bearer at the wedding).

I adored Johnny because he was a such a small streak of lightning in a game full of huge dudes who were regularly a whole foot taller than him. His skills were just fucking phenomenal and he was so exciting to watch. I screamed with joy and cheered him on so loudly I lost my voice on many occasions. He represented his country for International Competitions and is the highest US point scorer.

I could get technical and talk about my favourite goals of his, his stickhandling, dangles, on ice spatial awareness etc but it is all on film for anyone to see, just too much to choose from. Nobody moved like Johnny Hockey.

As a person he was a sweet, kind guy who was universally liked in the sport and beyond. I do not follow celebrities on social media, but on hockey forums there are endless stories of his voracious love of mac and cheese (so much so Kraft put him in a TV ad) and skittles candies that he had a hockey stick covered in them and auctioned for charity.

In interviews he always talked hockey and his family. Whenever asked about new contracts and paycheques he would just shrug and say ‘yeah I bought my dad a boat so we can go fishing’ or ‘I just got a cool new wheelchair lift installed in my holiday home so my cousin can come and spend time with me’, or change the subject and talk about his dog, his wife and kids or The Birds. He was a real gem of a gentleman, modest and always ready to give credit to his team and dad (legendary NJ coach Guy Gaudreau) who motivated Johnny to skate as a toddler by placing skittles candies on the ice for him to fetch.

I’m am so sad for him, his family. This is just a blurb of feels about someone I counted down the days for until I could see them make magic on ice. I wish I could write a good tribute, dammit. Thank you Johnny Hockey.

Moonstruck With You

Heyyyyyy all! I'm back, back, back with another little blurb I whipped up. Just a short little one that I hope y'all enjoy. Of course, I appreciate any and all interactions with this. I will also appreciate any comments about how to improve as well!

Warnings (?): Just a little swearing, some implied sexy time at the end but it's just up to the imagination!

It’s been almost a month since he’s been home. Lando’s been away for races, meetings, social outings… all without you since you’ve also been getting a bit more busy at work with the Christmas holiday coming up soon. Of course, people have been dumping some of their work at the office onto you so they don’t have as much to do before. Sometimes it’s so hard to say no to these things, you know, it gives you some more overtime and some more money. Sure, but you hated not being at Lando’s races, and he knew that. Yes he understood that there deadlines and the like that had to be meet, but sometimes he wishes that you had the ‘fuck it, it can wait’ attitude.

This moment darkness

Let me take you to paradise

Revealing the moon behind the clouds

I'm so intoxicated, getting more and more into you, baby

Won’t you let me in? Our secret

An attraction you can't resist, oh, oh

5:30 pm 

“Bye Y/N! See ya on Monday,” F/C/N said.

“Bye,” you replied. “Still on for coffee next week?”

“Oh yes! Of course,” they replied, nodding. 

“Okay good. See ya Monday!”

Finally, you’re able to be free from work. You packed up your things as quickly as possible before heading downstairs to your car. Luckily it was only a 20 minute drive from the office to the flat that you and Lando shared. 

5:50 pm

Turning into the garage to park, you notice that there’s another car. One that Lando drives.

‘Oh goodness, he’s finally home!’ you thought to yourself. Unable to contain your excitement, you tried to go to your flat as fast as possible. Desperate to see him, hold each other, feeling each other’s touch… 

You and I under the moonlight

The sun is behind the night

Tonight will be forever

I get drunk while dancing all night oh 

You come in, seeing Lando sitting there watching television, his head turning to see you. 

“Y/N!!!! Hi baby,” Lando squealed as he got up to hug you, picking you up and twirling you around before setting you down and kissing you. 

“Lando– baby,” you said as you broke the kiss. “Baby I missed you so much. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to…” Your voice trailing off, tears forming in your eyes.

“Shhh, y/n, we’re here now,” he whispered, holding one of your hands while putting on some lo-fi music to fit the mood. Looking in each other’s eyes, you see the sparkle in his eyes from just looking at you, the two of you touching. Not even five minutes of being home, and the man can’t take his hands off you. “I’ve missed you so much too.”

Lando spun you around before swaying side to side, letting you both soak up this time together. Honestly, you both were just fine like this. 

Just the two of us

Getting deeply moonstruck

Oh, you make me go

Crazy over you, you, baby

Let me hold you close

Fly this night above the rising moon

Crazy ovеr you, you, baby

Flowing brown hair

Fly through the twinkling stars

A dream-like magic carpеt ridin’

Baby, now you’re in my blood

“How’s work?” Lando finally asked as he placed his forehead on yours.

“Meh, I’ve been meaning to tell some of them to do their own shit instead of giving it to me. I got a life too, ya know? Although, I’m glad this overtime bullshit is gonna be over soon once the holiday comes around,” you replied with a shrug. It was apparent that work was making you tired, but the little bit of dancing here made your worries melt away. 

“That’s the spirit y/n,” Lando giggled. God, you missed that little giggle of his. It was too cute and it made you smile every single time. 

“So, we’re gonna dance all night or…?” you teased as you looked up at him.

“Oh baby girl, we can do more than just dancing all night,” Lando replied, a sly smirk on his face. He led you elsewhere, towards another room, and the rest is gonna be history.

You and I under the moonlight

We bloom at night

This night when eternity blooms

I get drunk a little deeper all night long, oh

Just the two of us

Getting deeply moonstruck

Oh, you make me go

Crazy over you, you, baby

Let me hold you close

Fly this night above the rising moon

Crazy over you, you, baby

We can take it slow

Moonstruck in ecstasy

Oh, you make me go 

Crazy over you, you, baby

F1 and VO2 Max Training

(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)

What is VO2 Max Training and why do drivers do it?

VO2 Max is the maximum amount of oxygen the body absorbs during exercise and can measure aerobic fitness levels. VO2 = Volume of oxygen consumed by the body per minute - it is one of the strongest predicters of heart disease and death. It is the best measure of cardiac and respiratory fitness available.

VO2 is measured in ml (of oxygen) / kg (body mass) / minute

How much oxygen the body consumes - the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute and how much oxygen was taken from it.

Now...why do F1 drivers need this?

Drivers put extreme demand on their cardiovascular, respiratory and overall physical health during races. Their bodies are subjected to enormous amounts of g-force and experience extreme heat and stress. They need a lot of energy to do this and as a result can burn a lot of calories per race.

VO2 max training is a useful measurement to assess a drivers endurance at their maximum during exercise which they are subject to during a race. The strain they're under during a race would require their bodies to be pushed to the max, requiring optimal oxygen intake and energy production.

It can ensure drivers are fit enough to endure the stress they subject their bodies to despite the environment within the car - maximum speeds/ heat. It gives drivers and their teams a greater understanding of how hard they can push their bodies and also how they can further maximise their performance during races.

Want to know a bit more about the science? Read below.

Now the (more) science-y bit - oxygen is used in respiration and as you breathe in oxygen the lungs turn it into energy called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This powers the cells and helps release the CO2 in the body that's created during respiration when you breathe out.

The greater a persons VO2 max, the more oxygen a body can consume and the more effectively the body can use this to create the maximum amount of ATP energy and the better the body can handle aerobic/ cardio exercise.

During the test the goal is to get to maximum exercise to determine max heart rate, vo2 max and an estimated lactate threshold. The test measures oxygen consumption and CO2 production using a mask to determine values. The goal is to run at a comfortable speed but not too comfortable for around 10 minutes to max out oxygen consumption and heart rate. During the test heart rate is measured using the ECG dots you can see on the chest.

The Fick Equation is used to calculate VO2.

VO2 (mls O2/ minute) = cardiac output (stroke volume x cardiac output) x arteriovenous oxygen difference (difference in O2 content between arterial and venous blood - how much O2 is used by tissues in systemic circulation).

So in short, VO2 is how much oxygen the body consumes - how much blood the heart pumps per minute and how much oxygen was taken from it.
