i got that quote from a preaching of a pastor in the church. in many ways, it is related with so many things in my life. it related with work, with training, with races, with relationship, with friendship, etc.
as for training, i had gone thru quite a bit with the team. training had been good, but yet, sometimes, i am still not sure in terms of my rest time. i felt that it had not been optimal. then again, if u work about 14 days straight including weekends with all the training that i was doing, not sure how i would manage my rest anyways......but thank GOD for always reminding me of HIM. for keeping me grounded, for always and constantly letting me know that HE is indeed in control.
during that time, i also did not got a chance to see my close friend. Or, even for that matter, not much of hangin' out with friends.
as for the actual training part, it had been going pretty well surprisingly. it already started to feel like spring and already, i had a chance to bike on the road a couple of times. i felt stronger and faster in all three discipline, but now, here comes the part that always makes me wonder; how well would i b during the actual race?
that is always the big question.
i always have ideas to be able to perform well during races. beating certain time limit, beating certain people, be at certain position in age group, and all that. but am i really going 2 b able to do that? and that seems to always be the measurement that i used to see whether i was successful or not in certain time and/or situation.
jst like the quote above. it is indeed the promise to those that stay true to their own ideas. as much training as i had done, it is probably the only thing that i can stay true to in order for me to be able to be success in races.
as i embark on the journey to do my very first iron-distance race. it always feels scary to even try to think abt it. then again, for now, i can only stay true to my training and we'll see what happen in the fall.
God bless....
