Hello everyone,

Welcome to my third blog! Today, I want to share something a little different—my thoughts on the mental aspects of preparation for the race.

I’ll be honest: when I started this journey, I believed I had plenty of time and that things would go smoothly. But this week has been a wake-up call. I’ve encountered unexpected challenges—not physical ones, but more mental. My resilience and mental toughness, which I thought were solid, have been tested in ways I didn’t anticipate.

During one of my training sessions, I hit what people often refer to as “the wall.” I felt like I wasn’t strong enough to push forward. That moment was humbling and eye-opening. It made me realize that mental preparation is just as crucial as physical training. And, perhaps, I’m not alone in facing this. Many of us might encounter similar struggles, so I thought it was worth sharing and starting a conversation about it.

Since then, I’ve been trying to reflect on my mindset, analyze my challenges, and find ways to motivate myself. It’s a process, and I’m hopeful I’ll find my rhythm again soon.

If you’ve faced similar experiences or have strategies for building mental resilience, I’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s mindfulness techniques, motivational hacks, or just lessons from your own journey, feel free to drop them in the comments - I'd truly appreciate it!.

Until next time, stay strong and stay inspired. 😊

Hello everyone! This is my first blog post, and I wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I'm Tsatska from Mongolia, and I’ll be taking part in the Gobi March 2025. I am super excited to join this incredible adventure and meet amazing people along the way!

I first learned about the race through Eva zu Beck’s vlog, and I was amazed to discover that it’s happening right here in Mongolia. It feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the idea of being part of this race felt like the perfect challenge and an unforgettable journey.

I’ll be posting over the next few months. If you have any questions about Mongolia or Ulaanbaatar, feel free to ask, I’d be happy to share what I know!
