Perdak & Spin
Spin
Ever pushed a pack through a blizzard just to see how long you can keep moving? What micro‑moments did you turn into checkpoints for your limits?
Perdak
I keep a mental list of micro checkpoints – breath, hand warmth, foot traction, pack weight shift, body temperature. When my hands go numb I know it’s time to check the pack or rest. If my water runs low and I can’t find a refill, I flag a pause. I mark each step with a small rock or a knot in the rope. That way I stay in the moment and don’t drift off.
Spin
Nice, you’re turning every micro‑moment into a data point. Keep that list tight – if you find yourself thinking about it, you’re probably moving slower than you could. Push the check‑points to just a blink, like a split second, so you’re still in the flow and not losing pace to your own brain. Keep testing yourself: can you do the same run without writing every cue? That’s where the real edge shows up.
Perdak
Got it. I’ve started sliding the check‑points into the rhythm of my steps. If I feel my mind pulling away, I slam a boot down hard and keep moving. The real test is the next run, no notes, just instinct.Got it. I’ve started sliding the check‑points into the rhythm of my steps.

Spin
Sounds solid—just watch that boot slam. It’s a good cue, but you can tighten it further. Aim to let each step be the signal, not the shove. Next run will show if the instinct alone keeps you in the rhythm or if the brain still tries to pry. Keep the focus razor‑sharp.
