Looking back, we could have avoided certain oversights, shortsightedness and being blind-sided. However, all these 'I could have...' and 'I should have...' may, if unchecked, build a structure of regret and disappointment.
Over the years, I have learnt to 'Move on, and get on with it!'. It is great to bask in glory and achievement, but pitiful and pointless to wallow in shame and regret. If we believe that 'things happen for a reason', then whatever happened, did. If you skipped a workout, or reduced your mileage, or did not stretch for a few days - so be it. Do something different the next time. I think discipline is not about compliance, and 'following the rules'; it is about being clear why we become disciplined. Blind allegiance is not loyalty. Compliance is not about having to follow the steps. It is about sticking to a routine or a regimented lifestyle for a while, but not forever. Your call; your choice.
You need not bring the discipline of work back home. Work and personal life may be a part and kept a-part of each other. You can solve and absolve problems when these arise. Reeves Leong wrote about this today.
Congratulations to Grace Chan for getting second for her age-group yesterday at the OSIM International Triathlon. We raced at the 70.3 Ironman World Championships in 2008. Well done, Hui Koon for his PB of 2:42 at the same race. Our Coach, Craig Holland should be pleased with Hui Koon's sense of discipline over the past few weeks.
