This week’s video is not rainbows and flowers and all the good memories. But a reminder of how important it is to take good care of yourself, especially while being on the road.
What happened - heat + poor breakfast + lack of sleep all added up that day and I put my body into a position when it was not able to function properly. Unfortunately, I developed kind of a habit to test my physical and mental limits all the time and it finally almost backfired on me.
I am proud of how I was able to manage it all and make decisions while being in distress. But there are some things that definitely could have been done better. So here are some reminders for my personal journal:
- Never be on the road without proper breakfast. Don’t have foods that make your body more prone to failures - like coffee in my case.
- Always have a spare 2L reservoir of drinking water - on top of what you think you’ll need.
- Avoid drinking coffee when riding in heat - it will cause more dehydration.
- Plan your rest carefully and don’t push farther than this - even if this is a simple short ride for breakfast.
- Keep your T shirt wet when riding in heat.
All of that might sound obvious. But when things get too much, they can go wrong. Feeling overwhelmed happens to everyone when exploring a new country and sorting things out on the spot. It's easy to judge yourself later, but the truth is, you're just doing your best in each moment.
