Thinking about your comment about commitment, okay, I see where you are coming from. Yes, I see very very few
folks who are committed to getting better at the level I think you are talking about. (As an example, there is
not one person in my masters that comes close to my commitment of 5 days a week for the last year.)
But, IMO, I do not look at it this way. I just try to support folks to be the best they can be based on having a life.
I know I do not have much of a life anymore, but I race well. Is it worth it?
I like to be around humble people who do not put down others for their definition of slow, or even commitment thinking about it.
I just try to always be supportive no matter what their goals are, or their race results, or even their "commitment".
I just try to get them off their butts as much as I can to try and exercise. I sure do not want them to be the Type A
about racing that I am!!!
When I look at the CIM that I have done the last few years, and what percentage qualify for Boston, it sure is small.
Why, does not matter to me. I just know lots would love to have my BQ time. I just try to support them to say if they
train all year round like I do, they could do it too.
Let me give you another example of being Humble. I would never cut someone down for ANY results they got. Whether it be Boston,
IMH, or Worlds. But why a few on ST just seem to enjoy cutting others down on anything they think is below their standards just
amazes me.
Oh well, hope we can help Dan with hits on this thread. I was gone too long so wanted to see how folks tapers went while I was out.
Did you miss me?
