MDS food

I have finally got around to purchasing my food for this years MdS. I plan on taking pictures of the nutritional info of each meal to help me plan out me food for the week. This weeks training has been a bit of a challenge time / opportunity.

MdS 2014

this guy was spotted trying to invade our tent on Monday morning!!! a great start to day 2.

one of my favorite quotes

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”

This is what the majority of the MdS route looks like, sometimes to have to remind yourself to lookup and take in the amazing scenery.
