“Acceptance to all of the problems is my solution. I'm gonna accept the fact that I am gonna hurt everywhere.” (28:09)
Jeremy emphasizes the psychological aspects of endurance sports—how overcoming discomfort is often more a mental game than a physical one. He shares his insights on the lesser-known but equally important job of managing nutrition during long rides, the balance of maintaining equipment, and even the amusing and sometimes daunting encounters with wildlife. He also explores the communal atmosphere of gravel racing events, where racers and spectators alike transform small towns into vibrant hubs of activity. Jeremy also touches on the concept of "Misogi," a Japanese practice of challenging oneself with a task with a 50% chance of failure as a means of spiritual cleansing and personal growth. Join us as we explore the myriad of experiences that make up Jeremy's approach to endurance cycling, from the physiological benefits to the mental clarity it provides and the joy found in overcoming what may seem impossible.
