Almost there...
So as of today I am 10 days out from competition. I feel I pushed myself to a new personal best. The finish line is right there. The carb depletion is the most tiring experience. Training intensity has gone down because of the lack of energy, although I still make sure I still complete my workout as prescribed. I am still pushing until the day comes and we'll have to see the results. At the end I have put up a good fight, and set a new personal best. This is only the beginning, as it always is, each life event brings me to the beginning of a higher standard. There is no end.
On the way I have reinforced what I thought I knew, but back then it was only in theory. The theory is that to be good at something requires that goal is to consume your life at the time you are pursuing it.
I still remember when I started training with my trainer, he told me I can't just do the workouts half ass, the weights go all the way down and all the way up, with perfect form. Half ass only gets you half way.
I love the field of athletics as it teaches you a lot about yourself if you really look for the message. Let your goals become a passion just for that moment that it shows up in your life, and let it consume you, hang on tight and watch as it become real like walking to the end of a tunnel. The light is there don't get distracted, keep going, at the end its worth it. This lesson goes beyond physical fitness as it applies to all goals.
Now I don't know if I will win, but in my mind I have already won. I have set my personal best, and if someone beats me than he deserved it at that moment. But mark my words the end of this tunnel is very near.
