HITTING THE WALL IS SCARY. W/THE VEGAN CYCLIST | ROADMAN CLIPS

1.Breaking Point at the Visitor Center

Got to this point up at the visitor center and Jeremiah had gone ahead like because he really wanted to finish like he was very racy very very athletic um and so I'm by myself for the longest time and I get up to the visitor center which is like you've climbed 12 000 feet in like 40 miles you're at ten thousand nine nine thousand feet of elevation so you're way up there and you have like another five thousand feet to go the hardest part uh and I'm just I'm just laying on the ground because physically there's no way I can continue like I have I have met and exceeded my limits as as an athlete and so I'm just laying here and I put this in the film and I'm laying on this ground and I'm just like had this most outer body hippie psychedelic experience like I've never I've never had a Moment Like This Before where me and what I am and what I want and all of this separated into these individual entities so like when you are gonna wake up early and go for a run you wake up and you have this conversation in your head you go I don't want to wake up and then someone else goes you need to wake up then you go I don't really want to I want to sleep in then someone else goes no we need to go run it's going to be good and you're having this fight with yourself right and it's so weird but we never think about like what what if those two people were on the same page what if you woke up and went I'm I'm gonna go for a run and the other voice goes good job go do it you know what I mean like then everything's so easy but it's not that way everything in life there's this negative side you have these two entities and so then I had the positive and the negative and then me as an observer as a third and it was so freaking trippy because I could visually see this argument being held in my head and so then as a third Observer I could just choose I could choose which one to listen to and it was like this restructure of my brain so hippie okay but like I started thinking about how rare this moment was in cause I mean I'm super into psychedelics so like that that you know I have a little bit of experience with uh entering Realms of like the the weirdness but I'm at elevation I'm extremely exhausted you know like I it you get to a point you know and a lot of like civilizations uh to become a man they they make you do some like crazy physical uh efforts to get to this point to get to a point where you know all of these like mechanisms of your body start to break down and you start to see things differently you start to see the world differently and so I just started thinking about it on a cosmic time scale of like okay where in the universe is a place like Hawaii at when is a place like Hawaii uh and like I have such a rare Moment Like This Is Such a sparkling diamond in all of time in all of history I can't not finish you know what I mean like that that's so insane if you were a floating spirit and you had to go find this one moment within space and time how how like would that even be possible Right like this moment is foreign
