I had that mission. That goal. That mountain. For 2025. And I did that. I did that! So very super satisfying.

But then. It’s over. And time moves on. But the question right away was. Are you going to do another one?

But then checking availability for 2026. The grizzly, not in the cards. Harvest and thanksgiving focused next year. For that one. There are others. But they sound quite long. And I won’t have my friends there. Etc etc. excuses. I could for sure sign up for something. The Regina half would be quite easy. Go for a faster time. It’s not super motivating and exciting tho. The grizzly was insanely effective at holding my attention for the entire year.

And then thought maybe I should sign up for the death race. That’s sort of where I was at. But sign up for the 2027 one. Can’t fully commit like I had done for grizzly. Barely told anyone I was going to run it. I shared a few times but very much self inflicted. Obviously my wife knew. And was holding me accountable.

I was thinking because I can’t sign up online for another like year. I should announce it on social media. And even the idea of one person or one friend calling me out. Holding me accountable.

It’s such a big and scary idea tho. And really. Knowing what I would need to do. Would for sure take me next level as a runner and ultra runner at that. I believe it’s trail. I would want it to be trail. An epic adventure. Like freaking lord of the rings.

Anyways. I’m not fully committed to doing another one.

I do believe running felt good to do. And get good at.

And all the weight training and eating properly and not drinking alcohol. Focus on sleep and recovery and mobility. All that.

I believe I can replicate a percentage just better systems. Timing. Waiting to spot the physical in.

A scary thing. Whipped all those into perfect alignment tho.

But the thing I can train for. Effortlessly. Is golf. In my garage. Specifically with a wedge.

I built a machine in my garage to practice golf.

A physical simulator.

This. Would be absolute torture for most people. But for me. This is heaven. A complete opposite. And it’s not like an even split. It’s like. One in a billion maybe. I’m curious. Not many. Likely a few more out there. As obsessed as me.

For sure. Plenty as obsessed. There are some likely even more than me.

But. Im peak obsessed and also an engineer and product designer for 10 plus years and now a few years as a professional analyst for an oil and gas industry business.

I’m really curious. About what I’m doing.

I think it’s magic. Just need to check the setup. See how it’s progressed. We good with framing and objects and lighting. Need more lighting.

And then flip on and off the strobe. That is massive. We can shift 2 sets of those lights over. And then just the switch in ceiling for those. Brighten up the light box? Or good as is. Or don’t use. If we’ve got plenty of light above.

I do want a light on the hitting surface.

A strip of led. Or a wand.

Would be better if the strobe had a switch. Instead of plug and unplug.

Or even. A remote would be dope.

Or a switch. For like 2 bucks. Not difficult. Just do it.

If I could have just one switch for full lights and one switch for the strobes and have them both right where I’m at. So it’s easy. I think the ceiling is still easy. An extension with a switch could work for strobe. Flip flip flip. Ive got all lights. Right at my feet plus right above. There’s also the ones behind. Not terrible. Because I have to go back to the phone anyways. Unless it’s voice controlled maybe.
