A lot to be said about finding "The Zone".... I'm always looking for the magic bullet or suppliment that will give the edge, but as I become more familiar with what works for me, it all comes down to having "FUN" and "Pushing Hard".
That's pretty simple,,,right?? Kind of two counter productive words that don't seem to go together. As I get in the truck to head to the trail, I am somewhat reluctant..even during the warm up. Then, it's time to crank it up! It takes me about 1 hour to get in the groove, but the feeling is elation!
It has been a struggle w/ running alone the last couple of weeks but, I'm learning to grab a hold of that and own it! It has set a new fire in me! I really have fallen in love with the trail all over again! I'm strong & focused. I'm excited for Bighorn 100 it is right around the corner!
Someone asked me what my expected time was, and I said, "I don't know?? but, I want to win"..you should have seen the stares I received. When you run a race, don't you want to win?? Some race to finish, some race to win. I'm not saying I will win....but I want to win! Either way I'm a winner. I'm going out to do something amazing!! I'll be elated with the outcome of a great finish or survival! I've got a plan and a strategy ~ I'm excited!!
