One of the most telling rituals in Reid’s pursuit of the sport was his fabled “Kona camp.” In the last three months before Hawaii, Reid trained in Kona for two weeks while living at 6,000 feet up the Mauna Kea mountainside at an empty Girl Scout camp. Reid lived alone, sleeping on a mattress and carefully following the dishwashing rules to disenchant the mice. By day he would train at sea level and return to the camp in the evening.
