I'm Fitzgaw and you're listening to a preview of Derbegg Darius Plus.

Hey, I am responding to your prompt about bonking, one of my best skills, I would say.

This is a story about how I bonked hard in the Grand Canyon.

Been a long time listener and I was responding to your bonk prompt here is my bonk story.

Hi, my name is Bennett Ron and I'm a long time listener of Derbegg Diaries.

First time submitter, I'm a little nervous, but I have had a lot of bonking at the

start in my life. I am a plus-size outdoor athlete and I really revel in

challenging myself to do epic hard technical sports that have excluded people that look like me

for a really long time and a couple of years ago I learned how to ski during COVID winter and I

kind of low-key set myself a goal in my head of skiing out to England at the end of the winter

because I was also learning to tour and I ended up doing it with my friends,

Kaelin and Fred and I was not prepared and I just decided to go for it anyway and I went out with

a pair of ski-to-frame bindings and they were so heavy and we started in the dark and I couldn't

keep up with anyone and I was like really over-clushing myself on the uphill in skis that were

really really heavy and I was way over-talking my abilities and so even though I was like

keeping up with my nutrition I was not keeping up with my energy consumption and we got to the top.

A lot later than me it did just make it and I started to suit up to go down and I just like

I was crying before I even stepped into my skis about how hard and scary this was going to be

for me and I was like bonking before we even started the descent but I proceeded to fall my way

down that mountain at one point I ate it really hard and was just kind of lying in the snow and

crying to myself about how miserable I was and somebody came up and they thought I was injured

and they were like okay you need help and I was like no I'm just miserable I just went down
