I participated in the Red Bull Dutch Extreme, a 3 day event. The winner of that event told the press that he's always able to continue after breaking down, simply because he wouldn't accept that he reached his limit.
But, while that might sound inspiring and all, I personally found out that if you don't drink enough during events like that, your limits suddenly become very clear.
- taneq 10y agoI hate the "limits are all in your mind" mentality. Sure, maybe the limits in many peoples' minds kick in before their physical limits. Those limits are there for a reason, though - hitting physical limits has (often serious) physical consequences. In the extreme case you start to damage muscles, ligaments, organs. Your body is actually killing itself. It's like when people talk about "giving 110%" on a racetrack. You know how to spot the ones giving 110%? They've already crashed, because no amount of positive attitude is going to increase your tyres' coefficient of friction.
