A part of field study and spatial story.... inspired by Gordon Cullen. #architecture #sketch #gordoncullen #spatialstory #oldquarter
Big spider, big wasp. Pompilid wasps in the subfamily pepsinae are called "turantula hawks" for good reason. As the story goes, Pompilid wasps (and most bees, wasps and ants) are careful parents. In order to provide for her future wasplings, this female has hunted a large and tasty spider. The spider would spoil by the time the eggs are hatched and refrigerators are hard to come by in wasp-size. So what is a pompilid to do? The solution is not to kill the spider, rather paralyze it and store it in "suspended animation". That way the young wasps are hatched to a fresh meal. How nice for them. . . I found this female pompilid dragging her prey into a burrow nearby my tent at our field site near #Iquitos #peru .Watching the fight between them was so amazing I almost forgot to snap a photo.

Approximately 1000 kilometres from the finish line in Meteora, I was in a good position to make a late charge for a top 30 position and I set about the task gamely. I rode through the remaining portion of Romania and a short section through Bulgaria into Serbia. Feeling hardened from the first 75% of the race I felt my performance improving rather than declining and set about three substantial climbs in northern Serbia with a certain amount of gusto and swagger. Temperatures were fierce, up into the 40°Cs, but I felt I had acclimatised to these by now and in my mind I was conquering these hills with no problems, better than any I had attempted previously at the height of the midday sun. Having capacity for only 1750 ml of water and a broken smartphone, I found myself rationing water as I couldn’t know when the next opportunity to resupply would arrive. I made up for it when I had the opportunity and guzzled litres at service stations but as it turns out, the damage had been done. Later that evening, when the sun had disappeared below the horizon and temperatures had dropped to the point it was “cool,” I started to suffer. I felt hot and restricted in my clothes despite the cool evening breeze; I became irritated by my clothes to the extent that I removed my jersey and rode shirtless for a while. After a little while longer, my feet felt hot and irritated too, so I took them out of my cleats and rode on top of those. Then suddenly my legs went completely: I’d hit a wall, pedalling felt like I was sitting on a ledge mixing cement with my feet, and I was overcome with delirium. I stopped at a service station and slept in a secluded area covered in pinecones for the night. I was so out of it I hadn’t noticed the pinecones at first, and stirred from sleep a few hours later to find myself cursing them wildly. At this point, I intended to crack on, but as I stood up I felt a wave of nausea overcome me, so I figured I needed more rest. TBC... watch the ultra cycle diaries now.

If the human body is in a state where it can’t take on as much energy as it uses, it is likely there will be a net loss of energy stores in the body; this has actually been shown in a couple of studies which examined ultra cyclists. However, the magnitude of this deficit is up for debate. One study showed that it could be as much as 8000 calories per day, whilst another derived that it was a more conservative 1500 calories. This discrepancy is likely due to the fact that these studies chose very different methods of measurement. To add to these studies I attempted to use yet another type of measurement to see if I could determine my ‘energy status’ during the Transcontinental Race. I opted for measuring circulating glucose (sugar) and lipids (fats) by pricking my finger and then using an everyday device that a diabetic might use to monitor their blood sugar. Simple. Or perhaps not. I found that when I measured glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, values were usually either the same as or higher than the resting values that I measured before the race, which goes against the hypothesis that I would be suffering from an energy deficit, and the data generated by previous studies. I can think of a number of mitigating circumstances. Firstly, I had devised a plan to take measurements pre- and post-meal. Yet, it quickly became obvious that I would rarely find myself in a pre- or post-meal state, because I ate so often. Timing of measurements was therefore erratic at best. Also, continually lancing my fingertips became a painful burden: my fingers were wounded and bruised for most of the time I was racing. Eventually, I decided it was too much of a hindrance, especially as my chances of finishing the race were already jeopardised by heat-induced illness. Heat also affected my appetite and ability to adequately digest: I was nearly re-acquainted with more than one meal towards the end of the race and spent the last two days eating nothing but ice-lollies.

On the topic of the psychological components of fatigue, it is also now known that dealing with stressful situations can increase the effort perceived by an athlete and have a negative impact on endurance performance (Marcora et al., 2009). During the Transcontinental Race I encountered numerous stressful situations. For instance, I lost lots of my gear by just forgetting to re-pack it and leaving it in random places. I lost a pulse oximeter – a device to measure the oxygen saturation of my blood – before I got anywhere near a mountain, missing out on some nice data. My phone, on which I was heavily reliant for navigating and for performing an app-based psychological test called the Stroop test, broke because of the heat. I bought a new one and exchanged my sim card, only to realise 15 minutes down the road that I didn’t have it. I raced back to the shop – it wasn’t there. Retracing my steps, I could no longer determine if I was sweating through physical effort or panic! I finally found my brand new phone, just peeking out amongst the packaging in which it originally came: I had thrown it in the bin!!! Fatigue begets fatigue begets fatigue.
