definition: A feeling we try to avoid, try to minimize, yet seek and love in a sick sort of way.
We push ourselves to the brink to see if we can actually reach it and once there, to test how we will survive it. We bonk mentally, as well as physically and when both occur, it is a nirvana of sorts. A nirvana that we like to brag about. At the coffee shop post-ride. On the treadmill next to your running partner. At the highest peak after beating a summer storm to the summit, oxygen deprived, yet exhillarated. Shaking after dumping the moto on the corner. We seek it out. We lust for it. We quietly explore our own Bonk Love.
Don't run from it. Celebrate your Bonk Love openly, privately, in action or laying on your favorite couch. Treat yourself to a reminder of what you have achieved. A triathlon, a glacier hike, 26.2, a century ride, a rehab goal. You bonked. You survived. You will do it again.
Return here to share your Bonk Love -- celebrate, compare, track, reminisce, cringe, remind, dream, laugh.
Share...tick tock, tick tock...coming at you fast...
...Remember this site. Remember this name -- Bonk Love. Deep Breath. Goosebumps yet? It's coming. Now quietly surf away, but you will return...
Oh, if you still need to scratch your curiosity itch, scratch away...
