Run, rest, ski, climb…or get out and enjoy the Ice Fest today. Andres Marin is competing today. He is scheduled to go at 3:20 this afternoon. If you have the chance, get out and cheer for Andres.
Other world class climbers are in town to play and compete. Take the opportunity to see people who have skills us mere mortals may never possess.
And here is a thought from the Gothic Poet. Some days it is enthusiasm that gets us through.
“Enthusiasm is the only quality that can overcome the dilapidated spirit of sore muscles, weak mindedness, and general malaise. Do I really want to do this? Or, I DO REALLY WANT TO DO THIS. Same words but organized and expressed differently. The former is the exhaust spit out of a machine on automatic pilot while the latter is the rumble from a worn out engine running low on fuel as it motors up the crest of its steepest climb yet, driven by the inexhaustible spirit of a madman. Take your task to the next level and your ability cruise will end abruptly as every step is uphill. Keep going and the cruising lane comes to an untimely end. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself motoring down a lonely highway in a lane all by yourself. This is the price for living on the fringe where others dare not tread.”
Fear your workout. Look forward to learning new skills. Play like a kid. Just have fun. Kill your Coward.
