Welcome to One Gear Short of Normal™

If you’ve ever:
- Worn mismatched socks on a 50-mile ride…
- Thought “Did I just poop… or did I fart too hard?”…
- Converted your treadmill into a bike rack…
- Or used sulfur soap on your boobs and called it a strategy...
🎉 Congratulations, you’re in the right place.
I’m Amanda — a post-bariatric endurance athlete, fat-tire racer, and lover of data-backed solutions with ridiculous names. This blog is a no-BS zone for:
- 🚴♀️ Endurance humor
- 🧪 Science-backed training advice
- 😅 Wild but useful hygiene tips
- 💡 Trademarked techniques like The Cadence Lock Technique™ and The Boob Sweat Solution™
You’re not just reading — you’re part of a gritty, weird, glorious tribe of athletes who fuel hard, fail hard, and still show up.
👇 Here’s what to expect:
- New posts weekly (ish)
- Stories, laughs, and lessons from someone with a PowerPoint brain and trail grit soul
- Zero toxic perfectionism. Maximum value, delivered.
