Föreläsning Markus Torgeby

2015-01-16

Den 7 februari ska jag på föreläsning med Markus Torgeby som sker i samband med landslagsgruppen tränar på Bosön på Lidingö. Det fanns även chans för några vanliga döda att vara med på föreläsningen och jag lyckades knipa en plats. Markus levde fyra år som eremit i en kåta i Jämtland. Det har tidigare skildrats i dokumentären Löparen och i Petra Månström intervju i Maratonpodden.

SPINE RACE POST 2/2 Certain knowledge can just not be achieved by reading blogs or talking to others, you really need to experience it. It is hard to understand this race if you haven’t tried it. You get wet and when you get wet you really have to move or you get cold. Some equipment is really useless in this kind of weather. I am already thinking about signing up again. I just want to make sure that I am committed enough to do it. I have some idea what it takes now in terms of training and preparations. So you might think that the race was so brutal and miserable that I didn’t like it? Wrong. I loved every second of it. It was an awesome experience and adventure. At many times I just laughed. The rain, fog, wet cold, darkness and the long time of solitude. I spent most of the race alone and that is tough in the middle of the night when darkness and fog is everywhere. I want to thank myself as well, you are awesome. When your are out there and know that all your gear is soaking wet, there is no time to sleep, there is no time to eat, you are alone, hungry, fog everywhere, freezing, darkness. You try to navigate, can’t find the trail and make your best to avoid the steep cliff to the left. I can’t explain in words how ALIVE you feel at that time, the level of awareness is unbelievable. That’s where you want to be. One of my best memories will always be when I realized that my socks and shoes were soaking wet 1 hour into the race. I didn’t expect this so early. Even if I had double socks, goretex shoes, waterproofs, long gaiters etc. I asked myself how this was possible and if it was the same for everyone. I had to ask Kevin Crowe from Canada if he was wet as well already. His response was epic: “I know man it keeps getting in everywhere but I don’t know how!!!”. I agree, the Spine is something very different. I was not prepared enough but I don’t regret going. I know I can make it. Thanks to everyone that make this experience possible. Especially to the great guys in the SST team that comforted me and taught me that I didn’t quit, I retired.

SPINE RACE POST 1/2 The Spine Race, Britain’s most brutal race. I agree it is the most brutal race I have ever tried. I did my best but it was not enough. Am I disappointed? No. You can have the luxury to be disappointed for an hour or so. The important part is that you learn, adapt, and try again. To just be disappointed builds a looser mentality. To learn and get back again builds a winner mentality, no matter how hard it is. If it would have been easy then it is not the race for me or something that I want to do. When I stand on the start line I want to feel respect and fear for the challenge ahead. A 1,5 months of build up after several months of injury was not enough. I knew this already but I decided to go anyway. I had already invested so much time and money and I knew that I would learn a lot. In the end a fall in the mud messed up my tendons again and the pace went down to a halt. I did some mistakes the first 24 hours that I couldn’t repair during the race. I met so many new friends during the journey, that made everything worth it alone.
