Welcome back to your favorite blog detailing "The Limits of Human Endurance," by yours truly, Chase Drange! I have realized that due to my injury (a stress fracture of the fibula, which prevented my running at the MHSA State Cross Country Championships), I need to prepare for the possibility that I may not be able to complete my endurance treadmill test. This would be catastrophic to my research, as nearly 75% of my work thus far has been in preparation for my self-test. Due to this, I have decided that I need to begin to study athletes that have pushed the limits of human endurance in their own respective sports and in this theorize what advantages they had over other competitors. Next week, I am going to research one of my favorite athletes of all-time. Surprisingly, to both the audience and myself, the athlete in which I will detail was not a runner, but his story has never failed to intrigue and inspire me. The story of Walter Bond, a basketball player who never gave up has always been one of my idols and over this next week I will be researching and writing about his story and what I deduce was his "power" to overcome. Come back next week!

I'm not even joking when I say that was sorry to hear that you couldn't compete at the state meet. I know many of us give you a hard time about running, but the truth is, running is one of the hardest sports a person can do. It is a true test of the human mind and physical limits, and is something that you have dedicated yourself to.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool that you are applying the story of a different sport to yours in hopes to better understand it. I believe that as athletes, it is important to look at a plethora of various different activities in order to be the best we can at our sport. Anyways, I can't wait for track this year, and I hope that you will have a speedy recovery in order to be at your best when the real season rolls around!
