Who Are You?

The first step in creating a system of effective habits is to figure out how you identify yourself: for example, “I am an athlete,” or “I am a student.” Another way to figure out who you are is to tune into what others say about you. How do your friends or your family describe you? You don’t have to stop at one or two—make a list of 20 identities. See how many things you can pile up.

PEAK PROFILE

COLIN HALEY

WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO PERFORMANCE/ENERGY FOOD AND WHY?

I end up eating a lot of packaged bars, not because they’re my preference, but because they travel well on lengthy expeditions and are convenient during hard climbs. But my favorite food for high-output days in the mountains is baguette with dried figs or, even better, onigiri (Japanese rice balls wrapped in seaweed, usually with some fish in the center).

BIGGEST CHALLENGE TO GETTING GOOD NUTRITION? ANY EASY SOLUTIONS?

At home, it’s easy to keep myself well-fed and healthy. The challenge is maintaining a healthy diet during the several months per year that I am on expeditions. When you’re packing for an expedition, it is easy to rush the food decisions, because they seem less critical than equipment decisions. There is no easy solution, but I do try to bring things like dried seaweed, powders of freeze-dried spinach and kale, dried fruit, canned sardines, etc.
