Well maybe I'm not "just good enough" to win WORS races ANYMORE, or get a top ten at a NORBA XCST ANYMORE, or go to the World Championships ANYMORE, or even do a 3 hour ride ANYMORE, or even feel good ANYMORE, but I sure COULD and HAVE ACCOMPLISHED at one point in my career - just maybe not "anymore"???<BR/>While 100% of the comments I allow on here go through my own filter, I mostly let people say what they want and 99% of the time laugh and could care less what it is, I have to admit this one caught my I and I thought for a few moments "who would actually say that?", but then decided it was pretty amusing and posted it up for all to see.<BR/><BR/>Now, since you decided to fully explain yourself, I'm getting a little heated about it as you clearly don't understand this isn't a matter of facing myself and saying - Tristan, I guess "you're just not good enough" to accomplish your goals. Thanks for the enlightenment, I had never considered that before! (read sarcastically) I've got plenty of goals, some accomplishable and some that are out there. Every spring I put together 1 month goals, 1 year goals, 5 year goals, long term goals. I stay motivated year to year by putting a check next to accomplished goals and looking at how I'm doing reaching for the next. Is racing the Olympics in there, sure it is and why not? Have I considered I might not make it? I sure have, but I'm accomplishing little goals along the way and making progress each year so there's no reason not to keep the Olympics on the list. <BR/>But the biggest issue is that currently I am not healthy and not even able to train. Perfect time for someone to let you know you know that "you just might not be good enough" and you might want to reevaluate keeping on struggling for no apparent reason other than you haven't considered your actual ability to accomplish said goal.<BR/><BR/>So, am I struggling right now? Yeah, it's been a really tough spring to stay motivated and not throw in the towel, but someone like AL is not going to make me throw out my goals and dreams and make me live in wonder of how I made it this far with the little talent I have. Now, when I am healthy and racing 100% for 5 years straight and not getting anywhere I might consider it a helpful bit of advice, until then I'll just post the comment and have a little giggle as to who would actually say that to someone who's having a hard time.<BR/>Tristan SchoutenTristan Schoutenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020130364162394326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15026866.post-28876052197452283132007-06-29T10:43:00.000-05:002007-06-29T10:43:00.000-05:00Hahaha, "Anonymous!"

You should really get enough guts to sign your name to your comments ;-)<BR/><BR/>I don't have a blog so here is my name and e-mail address, have fun. It is not ment to be a cut on anyone. There is a point (and sometimes several) in everyone's young life (and sometimes later in life) when they have to look at where they are going, what their goals are and can they be reached. Most young athletes grow up dreaming of an Olympic medal (or a signed contract), but someday they must evaluate where they are and what else they can do. This could be true with students who are in medschool or a engineering student who can't handle the physics classes. We all will face these points in our life.
