Mountain 1 - Kriss West 0
It was just one of those training runs where nothing worked according to plan. My pack was to heavy, my energy was a big fat zero and I just did not have fun at all. One good thing about the day was my food....various nice things from Racefood...slowbar, fastbar, and the super delish nougat.
Although it is not possible to take BOS sport energy drinks with me to the desert, it is possible to take it with on my training runs. The perfect picnic at the top of the mountain consisted of BOS sport and 2 nougat bars! For a moment life was good.
and I had Rob Bailey & the Hustle Standard to keep me company.
the lyrics are a bit explicit, so for the sensitive reader...please skip the next few line.
the song that helped me up the mountain was 'BEAST'
When the sun rises,
I wake up and chase my dreams.
I won't regret when the sun sets,
Cause I live my life like I'm a Beast.
I control my breath, keep my body ready.
Focus on the finish, and keep my head steady.
Breathe in (~breathe), Breathe out (~breathe).
Breathe in (~breathe), Watch out.
I'm a motherfuckin' Beast!
Imma Imma Imma Beast.
Atacama Crossing 2014 starts in 5 weeks - and I don't know if I will be ready for this one.
But according to my brother, its the same thing every time before a race...
I know when I get to Chile, to the first campsite, the desert mode will take over! And I can't wait!!!
My game plan for the next few weeks is to train as hard as I can, rest as good as I can, eat enough of the right food and drink enough water(not wine!)
