This weekend 7th/ 8th July 2018 sees endurance athletes from all over the UK complete the legendary Fan Dance in the Brecon Beacons.
As usual the Bulletproofbodies Team will be there to support all athletes and Directing Staff for this amazing Endurance event;
But what does it mean to experience the Fan Dance?
In our artificial world of mortgages, smart phones and the incessant chatter of the voice in the head, there is an urgent need to return to the simple raw intensity of man against nature: the human will pit against an unapologetic and silent adversary of rock and earth.
Sweat prickling the forehead and soaking the back, straps digging into the shoulders and the primitive urge to suck in the next breath and keep going smother out everyday concerns.
The glorious feeling of the body working to its maximum capacity washes over you, jockeying for position with dozens of other competitors makes your heart feel as though it is attacking the inside of the rib cage.
Fully dilated pupils drink in the richness of the surroundings as you pound up the mountain, scalding heat bursts through the leg muscles and the hypnotic rhythm of gravel underfoot and urgent breathing echoes around you.
This is what it means to be alive: the vital and overwhelming awareness of the present moment thrust onto you by straining lungs and aching limbs.
This is what it means to do The Fan Dance.
It’s not over until you have had your first Official Fan Dance Ale!
