thought you might like this quote from Seba...Lucho,<br />thought you might like this quote from Sebastian Junger's new book 'War'...<br /><br />"I still remembered how to negotiate the long, horrible process of physical collapse. It starts with pain, of course, but the pain is at the edge of what I thought of as a deep, dark valley. At the bottom of the valley is true incapacitation, but it might take hours to get down there, working your way through strata of misery and dissociation until your muscles simply stop obeying and your mind can't even be trusted to give commands that make sense. The most valuable thing I knew from my running experience was that when you start hurting you're not even close to the bottom of the valley, and that if you don't panic at the first agonies there's much, much more of yourself to give."<br /><br />best of luck man. right - left - repeat.n8http://swimwestside.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-37113043256394487172010-08-17T07:39:35.909-06:002010-08-17T07:39:35.909-06:00Thanks Mike!

I am hoping the course will keep me interested. <br /><br />Thanks Kevin! Much appreciated. I'm glad I could help with your Ironmans. <br /><br />Beth- No doubt! I tell athletes to hope for the best and plan for the worst.

And with that, I can't wait to see how this all goes for you. Have a good one! (Saw some old reports on you in Kona... mental challenge? pffffft.

Well done. My wife has a saying about my moods and plans similar to the Colorado saying about the weather... if you don't like it, wait 5 minutes and it will change. But seriously, I am coming in to this 100% humble. All of my 'fast' workouts and all of my PR's on the road don't mean shit. I will be psyched if I can get top 10! And my strategy for that is not to run on the front but to be patient and EAT EAT EAT. I think nutrition is an ace up my sleeve. Both in knowledge, execution, and the fact that I can eat elk shit and dirt and my stomach is solid.<br /><br />Patrick- Next time you run White Ranch let me know! Maybe we'll meet at Leadville.<br /><br />Claus- My wife and sister are my crew. It should be fun! Thanks man! <br /><br />Shaun- I don't know... I would have to disagree. I think my biggest challenge will be mental. Things could go downhill quickly for me. This is all a love/hate thing for me.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-64340832436945832322010-08-16T16:05:06.983-06:002010-08-16T16:05:06.983-06:00I think there's quite a few people very anxiou...I think there's quite a few people very anxious to see how you do, myself included.

Energy conservation and preventing/slowing down structural breakdown is probably the key. Paaatience... Gotta admit that it's pretty exciting to follow Your race, I hope You'll keep a relaxed attitude and have a great race.
