Interesting, gives me something to think about.
Ever since recalling the experience and posting it here I've been able to easier remember how that energy felt in my body. I try to invoke it as much as possible and it's been pushing me to be fearless and tireless.
I was mountain biking the other day through a part of the forest I haven't been through yet and came to a long slope with three dirt paths intertwining down a pretty steep decline.
It was at least 500 meters long and had jumps, gravel, and sand pits along the snaking paths. At first I started to break as I went down but then that energy took over and with a smile I let go of the break.
Two or three times going down that madness I almost pooped myself, especially off the jumps, but my energy was contagious to my girlfriend and we both shot down the path like slithering arrows, coming to a sliding stop in the sand pits below. It was the most exhilarating feeling, most amazing rush I've ever felt. Letting in to this feeling seems to push me to my limits of both ability and safety, but at the same time delivers a full body and mind ecstasy as reward.
