Eric Sullivan of Crested Butte set it last year. Why are you doing this? I’ve been thinking about this a lot because it’s certainly not because lap after lap on Snow King is fun. And I’m not expecting this weekend to be fun either. (When you’re going to an event with needles full of local anesthetic, and are expecting to use them, it can’t be good. BTW, the anesthetic is for blister management. There comes a point at which not even all the replica Breitling Women's watches duct tape in the world can help.) I think I’m drawn to this event because MS makes my body hurt and feel weird in ways that aren’t normal and that most other people can’t understand. But the way my body is going to feel after 24 hours of skinning and skiing? It will be hurting and be tired just like anyone else’s body would be. If I’m going to be in pain, I want it to be a normal, expected pain, damnit!
How do you train for something like this? By keeping all the razor blades tucked away. Doing the same thing over and over can make you suicidal. It’s more of a mental than a physical challenge for me. I know Snow King better than I know the bottom of a Nutella jar (and I’m seeing about three of those a week these days). It’s difficult to replica Breitling Chrono Cockpit watches psych myself up to do the same thing everyday. And the same thing multiple times every day. I’m lucky to have supportive friends who might not be crazy (or bored) enough to do multiples of laps with me, but will do one or two, which will at least get me out of my house. And once I’m there with all my gear, I can do as many laps as I’ve brought food and liquid for.
What the hell do you think about when youre doing lap after lap? Yesterday it ranged from marinating on how many more washings my original Star Wars pillowcase might have left in it to whether my first grade teacher – the one who always made me sit in the corner for talking too much – was still alive. I’ll make myself laugh with my favorite lines from The Big Lebowski. I imagine what I’d do if I met a liger. I’ve become a big fan of replica Breitling Chrono Colt watches putting books on DVD onto my iPod too. Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin = great. Friends, Lovers, Chocolate by Alexander Mccall Smith. Good. Until the ending. That sucked.If you’ve got any questions for Dina, send them on in. She’ll update this blog until the race starts.
