Oh yes, you’ve noticed it too?!
Why is this athlete not doing athlety things? 🤔
It’s day four of *What the hell am I doing at the South Pole?*—and there’s not a gym, pool, walking track or piece of exercise equipment in sight.
Let me explain.
Put simply, it’s the hit I take when I do “normal” things. You know—travel, spend time with family, catch up with friends on the other side of the country.
In the fewest possible words: it’s too fucking hard to do the athlete stuff and all the other stuff at the same time.
That’s the price of doing it all. For me, doing it all doesn’t mean doing it all at once. It means getting it all done in manageable stages.
And then there’s my perfect catchphrase: “I’ll do better next time.”
Because there’s always a next time. And while I maintain this incredible level of fitness, I get to do it again and again.
So, the upshot—or the endgame, if you will—is this: I’ll be home in 10 days. I’ll hit it hard and get completely back in the zone.
Until then, I’m focusing on grabbing every bit of warmth that comes my way.
