I’ve spent a lot time running and now that leg of the race is over. I’ve finished and boy was it a haul. There are other races and other events to do similar to a triathlon but I’ll just take a breath after doing the most grueling part.
Imagine going uphill, through mud and over obstacles for a long time. When the journey starts the finish line is seen (the top of the mountain) but it seems closer than it is. When you get there, you want to take a deep breath and enjoy the sights. Not everyone tries to climb that one.
Unfortunately, you can just relax there. Not now. You still have more to do and you now have to navigate going down the mountain. Yes you have gravity on your side, but the extra speed can be dangerous. Patience must still be exercised on the way down as well.
As a fellow traveler, there is so much to see and explore. Enjoy the wins but keep moving as time waits for no man ;)
