golf clap. good catch
all about perseverance and persistence, isn't it?
i think back to a few teammates of mine who have struggled for the longest time, toiling in women's 4 field. They often have to race with the cat-3's, and i can't imagine the hits they take on their ego when they get pulled early or finish so far behind the winners. Their attitude, however, was to march on, which i find quite admirable. It's a good thing that these few teammates have begun to do quite well, though for some it took 3-4 years.
