new year, bigger hurdles.




this year started out bad. as in real bad. for me. i felt as if i am being forced to retire from my career, but many have commented that it's an over reaction on my part.



in other more enlighting news, i'm gald to have attended the comp, though training was really difficult and harvest was literally ZERO (in the sense of medal haul), but i'm glad i have experienced it. broke my personal best, not significant enough apparently, and was able to successfully handle humiliation and the media, which i must add was terrible hard to get rid off. no matter how genius and apathetic my comments were, the reporters/interviewers somehow always managed to churn up comeback lines that i found impossible to argue against, using real english words or just words that is. maybe that's why they are still holding their jobs till today. and dispite my fustration, i sincerely take my hat off to them. of course, i have to commend myself of the few times i managed to gracefully and tactically rid myself of them.

there's still the competitiors whom you haven't heard about. so don't go away. i'll be right back after these messages.
