Did you meet any ultra runner in that professional crowd (assuming they would have dared to let you know)?<br /><br />Otherwise, I think the pitch is perfect for an American audience. You may have to localize a few anecdotes or images depending on the audience. You could also draw a parallel between the ultra running experiences and the life of a start-up.<br /><br />Thanks for the life lessons. And passion! ;-)<br /><br />Jean.Jean Pommierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590228467214315945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-61223469463634189822012-12-13T22:18:28.257-08:002012-12-13T22:18:28.257-08:00Very interesting presentation.

Don't you then take in a lot of calories and prime the body for the next up cycle? Can't technology plot our blood sugars as well? Sodium? K.? I've always suspected that some part of euphoria is acually hypoglycemia on a cellular level. Would the cycles change if you didn't eat?...Anyway, good presentation and I really enjoy lideas and curiosity. <br />DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-43333264759645583402012-12-12T18:46:20.328-08:002012-12-12T18:46:20.328-08:00Great slides.

We're using SlideShare more for our firm (cogentlegal.com), so we greatly appreciated seeing it not only from a runner's perspective, but also for its presentation and info design. Great job with the slides!

Shed the worthless negative emotions of guilt, envy, hate, and regret. Be ready for the challenge" It took me a brain tumor to find what my passion is. Unfortunately many of us need a slap in the face to wake up and realize what drives us. Some will find out without help, others will know if you show them, others will never know. <br /><br />Great piece.. thanks for posting..
