This is the only time of year I really get so tired--just before a big race. Amidst the mental sludge of my brain I think a lot about fatigue, what causes it, how to overcome it, how to use it, and more.
I'm pretty wrapped up in this. My fatigue is my sign that I'm working hard, that my body is doing all it can, and that I'm maxed out. There's no drug to replicate it. You can take drugs to make you tired, help you sleep, and get rest. But no drug will give that satisfaction, that sense of accomplishment, the feeling of meeting limits head on and overcoming them. No drug except ironman. Gawd I love it.
I was at LS yesterday and the salesman asked if I was in the CDA group because I looked tired and he's already seen a few other taters in the store. He said I wasn't alone in and that they all looked like me. LOL
