"Her last gram of glucose burned. Muscles defiant with fatigue. Head foggy from lack of sleep. At 22 hours into this epic, shear will presses her on toward that absurd goal, that dream, her test.Was this the experience of a climber, an ultrarunner, a thru-hiker,or a medical student? It is an experience that speaks to the inner drive we all call upon when "almost" will not suffice.
Because when the blood sugar rebounds and the ache subsides, the satisfaction of achievement is all yours."
