So this week we're going to be talking to Colleen Augustine who came all the way from Malaysia

and she's going to tell us about adapting after long distance travel.

Hey Spartans, this is Kevin Gilotti and welcome to the Spartan athlete. You you've come a long way to race.

Yes.

So let me ask you something.

When you have a long time gap, a long layovers, long flights,

how do you prepare for a race

when you know you have big time differences,

the time of day changes, you're losing hours,

you're gaining hours,

how do you have any strategy that you used to prepare for that?

So my main concern is usually when traveling that much. Like we took about in total with the transit

and the layover times, we took about 28 hours before we actually reached here in Tahoe.

So for me, my main concern is jet lag.

So I always, what I do is that usually I will make sure, depending on the time zone I'm going.

So like here is the Pacific time zone in America

so I make sure that I would fast one whole day and then I will start my breakfast

which is breakfast in the same time zone I will be in.

So my breakfast, lunch and dinner will start as if I was already in America or wherever I was traveling to.

And then from there it makes it easier for my body to adapt once I actually

arrive so I make sure I don't sleep for that period of time even though where I

in Malaysia it's probably nighttime I make sure I'm not asleep because the times I am
