Saskia Beudel在50多岁时挑战了澳大利亚最艰苦的自行车赛事Peaks Challenge1。这项赛事要求骑行者在一天内完成235公里的骑行距离,并克服超过4000米的爬升1。Beudel用111天的训练周期为这一极限挑战做准备1,并将这段经历记录在其著作《Peaking》中1。
书籍从2021年开始记录Beudel的训练日记,赛事途经Tawonga Gap、Mount Hotham和Falls Creek等关键路段1。这部由Monash University Press出版的著作1,以运动为视角反思了衰老、耐力、身体极限以及中年女性的可能性。
Saskia Beudel's journey through one of Australia's most demanding cycling challenges forms the centerpiece of her book "Peaking," which documents her preparation for the Peaks Challenge through 111 days of training logs 1. The race, held in Victoria's alpine region, requires cyclists to cover 235 kilometers and climb more than 4,000 meters in a single day, traversing challenging terrain including Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham, and Falls Creek 1.
Published by Monash University Press, the work goes beyond conventional sports narrative to explore broader themes of aging, physical capability, and the potential for women in middle age 1. Through her account of training and racing as a cyclist in her 50s, Beudel uses endurance sport as a lens to reflect on the body's limits and the possibilities available to women at this stage of life 1.
