Blind and Clueless Enthusiasm

"It's easy to remember the Western States and Comrades wins, but I'd take those early years of blind and clueless enthusiasm over anything. So if you're new to the sport, don't get bogged down in the details - train hard, take some rest days, try hit some course specific training, opt for gear that works rather than is 'the best', love the process. Set goals, but don't be wedded to them - its a beginners priviledge to feel like a winner simply for 'just' finishing. Enjoy that moment and don't spoil your 'ignorance is blss'era with too many details, too much uneccessary complication. Run, rest, repeat and live for the trails."
