I couldn't disagree more. I watch these guys at twice my age, struggling, going down, getting back up and refusing to quit for no other reason than to complete their race - they're not in it for anything else except themselves. Made me stop and think about my lack of motivation lately and the fact I've been shrugging off workouts for no other reason than "I'm tierd". If those 80 year old's can HTFU, then so can I. Eh.....it's the old ones who finish strong that inspire me... I enjoy watching the athletes whose day comes together and they are able to finish strong - but "I" also find inspiration in those whose day is falling apart, but they keep going. I just saw no reason for you to call coverage of their effort stupid. I think most triathletes would look at Julie Moss and call her finish epic, gutsy, whatever (these guys are no different) - you just chose a different adjective. |
