When I trained for strongman at the warehouse, the training group would talk about the White Buffalo. After some event training, tire flips and sled drags in particular, when you pushed too hard, your vision would get cloudy with a white haze. You were light headed and nauseous. You were done for the day. You were seeing the White Buffalo. A mystical creature would run through your visual field in the fog and haze you were experiencing.
I did car pushes today getting ready for the three car push on May 2nd. It did not go as well as last time. Maybe I held my breath too much. Maybe it was because it was 7 pm instead of 10 am. Whatever the reason, I am sitting here an hour later and still see fringes of fog and the familiar nausea of the White Buffalo.
I need to get my work capacity up and my tolerance for time under tension increased to better survive this event. I want to finish the event without vomiting. Finishing it without nausea would be even better.
I want to avoid the White Buffalo.
