Tale 10 - How Daylight Destroyed Me
I'm in the alpine meadows. The sun is rising. It is an absolutely beautiful day.
I
was told before the race that the sun coming up is a magical moment
that will give you the energy to keep going through the second day.
Jokes on me. I was in full vampire mode.
The
further the sun came up the more exhausted I got. I needed a nap. Just a
quick one at the next aid station, if we ever get there...
This
part of the course is rolling, and seems to go on forever and ever. Even
more so when you're exhausted and it's starting to get warm again and
you continue to think the next aid station is just around the bend but
you keep going around the bend to find more rolling hills and more
rolling hills and vast amounts of glorious alpine meadows which you can
no longer appreciate because you're exhausted and moving like a snail
again and just need to get to the next..... damn.... aid.... station.
Fun
fact - This is an amazing part of the course to be a pacer on and enjoy
a glorious sunrise as you descend down to Nicomen lake. Getting there
in the dark is over rated ;)
