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.

Then don’t just subscribe — stay weird, stay sweaty, and keep pedaling.
