fed felt fitter motivated symptoms
After a while, I just got fed up with waiting, I wasn't improving. As I did a little more training, I didn't feel like the symptoms were going away, but I felt fitter and healthier, so that just kind of motivated me more.
couch olympics seventh sitting year
To come seventh at the Olympics after a year of sitting on the couch isn't horrible. But I wanted to win.
finger
I can't put my finger on what's the problem.
bit decent energy felt gone great groin harder injuries injury nerves pushed quicker race second solid though worries
Considering the injuries and the nerves those were solid decent times (Tuesday). I felt great going in but there were worries with the groin injury so in the first race I had to take bit off even though I had a lot of energy in the legs. I pushed harder in the second race and still I could have gone quicker but I felt I didn't need to.
experience journey
After the experience I went through it was just a journey to get back to here.
