Call them crazy… but they have their reasons

The not-so-secret secret world of ultra-endurance racing revealed. The lesson here is simple. Find out how far you can go when failure is legitimately an option. You might just learn a thing or two. Granted, you might not take on this race through the Tennessee hills, you should still be finding opportunities in your life when you are legitimately testing yourself.



Reminds me of this…

“The sea’s only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don’t know much about the sea, but I do know that that’s the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.” - Primo Levi
