Endurance is not a young person's game. I thought I might even be better at 60 than I was at 30. You have a body that's almost as strong, but you have a much better mind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I kind of thought when I was 30 that you're as good as your going to get. And that's not true.
I think what endurance sports teach you is to stay dedicated, stay focused, and also to understand you're going to have ups and downs, but you need to keep running right through them.
The reality is, I'm not 24 or 34 anymore. Things are going to be different when I prepare for and when I compete in an athletic endeavor.
I actually feel, in a lot of ways, that I'm in better shape than I was when I was 30.
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
Cycling is an endurance sport. You lose your fast-twitch ability as you age, but your endurance peaks when you hit 30. I don't think I really started feeling my age until around 40.
Getting older doesn't bother me. When I was 30, I thought I should have achieved more, but you get more comfortable and think it's time to stop putting pressure on yourself.
The thing about getting older is the injuries. You just get injured more often. You take time off, you come back, you get injured again and you never get in shape.
I was very athletic when I was younger and I am a very competitive person, so I never give up.
I have good stamina and good endurance.
