: Episode 803 – Anna Vocino joins Vinnie today and the two discuss music, the Silver State 508 with Chris Kostman, weird race hallucinations, mountain bikes, and more!
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS
SILVER STATE 508
- Chris sold the race to two guys in San Diego
- It was so expensive to put on
- Chris Kostman was the youngest guy to compete in RAM and held that record for a long time
- He and Vinnie are good friends now
- This is a super hard race, but a fantastic one!
- You can also do a 4 man team
- Lots of those teams, more than solo
RACE HALLUCINATIONS
- In ultra sports, competitors often experience hallucinations
- Running or biking, you start to see things on your route
- Can be scary or just plain strange
- Vinnie and Serena have both experienced this, cycling and running, respectively
- Vinnie would see animals up ahead that really were not there
- Chris had this experience when he was not eating well, eating too much sugar, and he would see weird stuff
- He had tactile hallucinations
- Also stories of people being convinced that their crews are making them ride or run in circles
- One guy with less than 10 miles left had this problem and threw in the towel
- People really do lose their minds when they become sleep deprived
- The brain really does need the time to rewire itself
Vinnie’s factory bike:
Specialized S-Works Fuse 6Fattie
