24 Hours of Pain (and Pleasure)

By Dina Mishev

No, I=E2=80=99m not a masochist, but yes, I love the way my body = hurts after physical=20 exertions. In fact, it was because I wanted to feel this kind of=20 exercise-induced pain that I signed up for my first ever 24 hour race. = And just=20 in case doing a 24 hour race itself wouldn=E2=80=99t be enough to bring = it on, I decided=20 my goal would be to set a new world record for the most=20 vertical feet skied uphill by a woman in 24 hours.

The race was the annual 24 Hours of Sunlight (held February 7-8 this year) = at the Sunlight Ski Resort outside of = Glenwood=20 Springs, Colorado. The goal of the race is to ski as many vertical feet = uphill=20 as you can in 24 hours. During the race, two of the resort=E2=80=99s = intermediate level=20 runs are closed to regular lift-riding skiers. Racers ski up one of them = (a feat=20 made possible by specialized bindings and climbing skins affixed to the = bottom=20 of each ski) and down the other. Each lap is 1,502-vertical feet. I = needed to do=20 more than 33,000 vertical feet, 22 laps. If anything would be guaranteed = to=20 bring the pain, this was it.

I was in third grade when I decided I was going to be the sporty = girl. With=20 dodge ball, kick ball, wall ball, and lounging around a giant rock = mooning over=20 Kirk = Cameron=20 and comparing jelly bracelets as the main options at recess, it = wasn=E2=80=99t a=20 difficult choice to make. After all, there was only so much I could say = about=20 Kirk Cameron. And there seemed to be no limit to the number of home runs = I could=20 knock out of the kickball field.

Fast-forwarding twenty-some years to when I moved to Jackson, Wyoming = after=20 graduating from college, I was still sporty girl=E2=80=A6 and so was = pretty much every=20 other woman in town. It was awesome. Friends in Jackson don=E2=80=99t = socialize over=20 drinks, but over powder, in boats, or on trails. Dinner and a movie = date? No=20 way. Try climbing in Grand Teton National Park and a picnic lunch of = peanut=20 butter and Nutella sandwiches. If possible, sports became even more a = part of my=20 life. But I wasn=E2=80=99t yet finding motivation and comfort in the = aches and pains=20 they could cause.

I had to go and get Multiple Sclerosis for that to happen.

MS is a chronic, degenerative, unpredictable, uncontrollable, = incurable=20 disease that can cause, among other things, blindness and paralysis. And = even=20 more fun? Incontinence. I was 30 and had had two weeks of double vision = and=20 vertigo when I was diagnosed in June 2006. Thankfully, almost three = years later,=20 I=E2=80=99m not blind, paralyzed, or incontinent. Yet. Any could happen = at any time=20 however. (Although rare, it is possible to go to bed fine and wake up in = the=20 morning needing a cane.) The symptoms I do experience range from shocks = running=20 the length of my body to forgetfulness; vertigo; numbness, tingling, and = generalized pain in various body parts; twitching eyes; and sensitivity = to heat.=20 E= veryone=20 with MS has different symptoms, but whatever they are, they remind = you your=20 body is no longer really yours.

And so began my finding pleasure in the physical pain and strain of = races,=20 hikes, rides, mountains, and rock walls. Of course it=E2=80=99s not the = pain and strain=20 itself that I like. (Not being able to walk down the stairs for a week = after=20 making a 42-mile rim-to-rim-to-rim hike in the Grand Canyon my first = hike of the=20 season? Not fun.) But rather that it lets me, for a short time at least, = feel=20 like my body is normal and that I=E2=80=99ve got control over it.

During the 24 Hours of Sunlight, of course I was complaining about = cracked=20 and bloody fingers, sore-to-the-touch quads, a bloated stomach, dry = eyes, a=20 pounding head, and the heat (40-some degrees in the mountains of = Colorado in=20 early February, really?) =E2=80=93 and that was all before lap 6 = =E2=80=94 but really, I was=20 thankful for them. They helped me feel normal =E2=80=A6 at least until I = started up on=20 my 23rd lap. There are some instances =E2=80=93 say, the final leg of a = successful world=20 record attempt =E2=80=93 where you just can=E2=80=99t and don=E2=80=99t = want to feel normal. But that=20 kind of abnormality is the stuff dreams are made of.

Standing on top of the podium is a kind of abnormal I can take.

And in case you were wondering, just as expected all my aches, pains, = and=20 bruises, and even the bleeding in my stomach (I recommend avoiding=20 exercise-induced gastritis if you can) were gone within a week of the = race=20 ending.

DINA MISHEV = writes about=20 travel, sports, adventure, gear, art, people, and lifestyle topics for = Outside, Outside Online, National Geographic Traveler, National = Geographic=20 Adventure, and more. A graduate of Northwestern University with = degrees in=20 Math and Economics, Dina moved to Wyoming following college to learn = how to=20 ski before returning to law school on the East Coast the following = fall. The=20 latter part of that plan was thrown out the window within two weeks of = her=20 arrival in Jackson. When snow is in short supply, Dina races her road = bike,=20 climbs, hikes, drools over fabulous dresses that have no purpose in = Jackson,=20 and makes cookie dough.
