This one feels exciting !!
The more I run in the mountains, the more I feel that I’m chasing adventure rather than bibs. But this one feels exciting !
I signed up for the Lavaredo Ultra Trail 120 km and 5,800 m d+ in the Dolomites, because I’ve fallen in love with the challenge of ultras, and this scenery seems so exceptional to run through.
Starting at night, at 11:00, I want to feel that freedom again, a bib on my belt.
So that’s how I train for it, long hours of training, balancing a high-intensity job that moves between prod and prod. But I relax and recover at home whenever I can. I grow things in my garden (I don’t even know if anything will actually grow), but I love the process of enjoying the process.
Running in the mountains near home also feels so fulfilling. I see summits and wonder how I can reach them, by running, biking, or skiing this winter. If I had a dream kid, they’d probably look like this.
Now, the Lavaredo race is closer, and I love this feeling of the unknown. It’s a tough distance with serious elevation. Even if I train right, recover right, and train with my nutrition, I still don’t know if I’ll cross that finish line. But I’ll go with something that make me believe it’s possible, the adventurer’s mindset… step after step, pushing my comfort zone into places I don’t know yet…
How exciting !!
