Lindsay continued to work out but while she maintained her running and swimming schedules, she barely biked at all. However, biking had been her strongest leg in the triathlon, the one to which she felt connected.

Answer

I second everything Lucy said!

Answer

Katy used to be very determined. She had used this determination to get her through cancer treatment. But then, the energy behind her determination was shifted into understanding the (non-existent) reason for her break-up. Now her determination is coming back.
---------
"Getting in touch with our core" means to reflect on what is important to you, or to reflect on your identity/soul.
---------
Lindsay competed in triathlons, which are races made of 3 parts: swimming, riding a bike, then running. Riding a bike (biking) had been her strongest skill of the three parts. She felt the most comfortable with this part of the race.

Hope this helps, good luck!
