I wonder what, and where, you are off to next?Bootchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300148137044133865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837539967274418367.post-89951461949479091562010-10-13T15:33:47.754-06:002010-10-13T15:33:47.754-06:00I had a good laugh reading some of the points!
And...I had a good laugh reading some of the points!<br />And also realized that we experience this 'getting younger thing' in a very, very similar way. <br />Is is the excessive pedalling and running that simplifies life and provides an escape from the overly complicated life, or is it just a part of getting older that makes you revisit the sentiments from the past?The Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498160364473433869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837539967274418367.post-54931075618175999202010-10-13T14:23:29.376-06:002010-10-13T14:23:29.376-06:00...failure as opposed to success? I have failed a ......failure as opposed to success? I have failed a lot more than I have succeeded, both in life and in racing. I wrote a little about it here: http://windnsnow-triangle.blogspot.com/2010/04/failureor-this-is-where-two-dimensional.html.<br /><br />Yes, picking challenges is just as important as the training or preparation for that challenge. When I wrote "Be prepared to improvise and you'll not have to...much." it means that you may not complete or finish the challenge ahead of you. This isn't a "everyone should feel good and hug each other regardless of outcomes" -thing. It is a learning from what you do achieve in spite of the failure - thing. <br />How can you improve? How might you adjust? Should you attempt again? <br />Answering these questions honestly and without pressure from what others are doing is the first step in thinking about what to focus on. What is next? You have to look back and determine if next is something you haven't done before. Or perhaps in your case, going back and working on achieving a more palatable outcome in what you've just done. <br /><br />Either way, figuring out what's next can be both the most difficult and most rewarding decision you will ever make.Windnsnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906008195127164560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837539967274418367.post-53963584650538772172010-10-13T14:04:23.084-06:002010-10-13T14:04:23.084-06:00but have you encountered failure?

My big race of the year was a failure and when the race season is done how does a person find something to focus on? What is next?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
