First, many "elites" don't get their way paid, at least not all the time, and it varies greatly from runner to runner and among sponsors. And secondly, when a sponsor is paying my way, I would feel more obligated to finish, or worse that I don't finish, than if I were paying my own way. In that case, I feel some sense of responsibility to my sponsors. amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331844957221069032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-3600571634704135682013-09-27T15:07:14.773-04:002013-09-27T15:07:14.773-04:00Great post Amy.

So in some sense they feel like they need to finish. At the same time there is an envy towards the "elites" who get their way paid to said races. One always thinks about, would that person dropped if they actually paid for it themselves.<br /><br />I hope to see you at the UTMB again kicking some butt. Good luck on your upcoming races.Emirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046210580502692206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-91539678806358505482013-09-27T13:35:32.454-04:002013-09-27T13:35:32.454-04:00I find the "finish at all costs" attitud...I find the "finish at all costs" attitude to be the most off-putting aspect of the ultrarunning community, as it does seem to be fairly prevalent and ultimately makes no sense. People do their stuff for their own reasons. Many times those reasons don't include placing so much importance on an arbitrary goal to risk a trip to the hospital or long-term bodily (or emotional) damage. Maybe a finish isn't even worth a blister to some people. Why would anyone else care?<br /><br />Small rant aside, your post-UTMB emotional recovery seems to be significantly farther along than mine. After I timed out of PTL, I adamantly vowed to quit ultra-distance foot races. ("They're just mean, unlike cycling which is a friendly kind of suffering.") One month later I still sort of feel that way, admittedly. I'm starting to come back around though. I'm thinking more about throwing my name in the UTMB lottery for 2014. Damn it, I want to make that full loop around Mont Blanc once and for all, too.

And, as a result, you will run a lot longer...no matter what anyone else says, it is always best to listen to your body and be able to run healthy another day. Just because you might technically be able to finish something, it doesn't mean it's best that you do. Congratulations on making a good decision for yourself and a fantastic season overall!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-2191086650390515272013-09-26T21:37:36.137-04:002013-09-26T21:37:36.137-04:00Amy, I've had similar UTI developed in a few r...Amy, I've had similar UTI developed in a few races, first time at old Pueblo 50. That pain and urges suck! And thanks for bringing to my attention the idea that when the race starts in the evening, we (you, and I, too) tend not to drink much as it's cold, but we HAVE to! I'll have to make sure to remember that next week...Also, I hear you on the sport - not only that the personal decision gets dissected by so many, when you're in "public eyes", it gets practically scrutinized. Then those who made the decision have to just take a deep breath and say: Scree you, my life. Sometimes it's hard. Others times a little easier:) Have fun in Japan!Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.com
