Its kinda like riding a roller coaster. Only about two hours and 9 minutes longer.You're nervous to get started. You might question whether this is really something you should do. You might be a little scared, and think to yourself, 'Can I handle this?' or 'Am I going to get sick?' But you've done the preparation (i.e., waiting in line for two hours, or training for 14 weeks) so you decide to go for it.
Like I said, the actual experience is a bit different in terms of length. Two hours doesn't really compare to 30 seconds. But the adrenaline rush is present in both (hopefully) and each certainly has their ups and down. And as you pull up to the finish with either modality, you feel a sense of relief and the post-adrenaline rush high.
After you stop, maybe you feel a little sick. Your heart is racing. Your legs feel wobbly. You might stumble into someone waiting to leave the finishers coral/queue line.
As your heart rate slows and the blood starts returning to your brain, you begin to think a little clearer. You are still high, but its a different kind of high. The world has stopped spinning, for the most part. You're brain can think in complete sentences again.
And you know what is says to you?
You have GOT to do that again!
