About this episode
In this conversation, I share my preparation for the Grand to Grand stage race, diving into the logistics, nutrition, gear, and mindset needed for such an endurance event. I emphasize the importance of meticulous planning, especially when it comes to managing food intake over the long stages. One of the unique aspects I'm looking forward to is experiencing a phone detox during the race, disconnecting from the constant noise and focusing entirely on the experience. Reflecting on my past adventures, I realize how much they've shaped my approach to this race. This time, I'm aiming to enjoy the journey itself rather than obsess over results. It's about being present, tackling the challenges as they come, and savoring the excitement of this new adventure. takeaways Preparation is key for endurance events. Nutrition planning is crucial for performance. Gear selection can impact race experience. Mindset matters; focus on enjoyment. Phone detox can enhance the adventure.

Embrace the journey, not just the outcome. Sound Bites "I'm excited to have six days phone detox." "It's okay to smile, have fun." "I think this is the last one."
