VV-o-W!!! [Video Vignette(s)-Of-the-Week]
I was searching... finding... seeking... a good reason... to write this piece (ok, it has been a while since my last blurb). Kinda ironic that the topic is motivation and I had quite a hard time trying to flesh out my thoughts and all the emotions that I had been harboring...
Usually I find inspiration from underdogs or some heroes whom I admire. But a trusty source that I can easily draw strength from, is the movies (those with a GOOD story). Sometimes, we are gripped by fear, fear of success even, that hold us back from reaching our potential. I've not watched the full "Coach Carter" movie yet other than a few clips from YouTube. But this scene resonated well with me.
Another powerful lesson I picked up from (the real) Coach Carter was:
Michael Jordan is one of my fav. sports icon, transcending everything beyond basketball. Came across this poignant 'eye-catching' (pun-intended) ad.
Finally, I leave you with this last (7'16") clip from "Facing the Giants". I've also not seen this movie in its entirety... yet. But hopefully the coach's "keep-going, give-your-very-best" mantra will leave you all PUMPED UP!!! Happy Training! :D

Finally (29 May'08) got my TRI-bike of 7 years tweaked & fine-tuned to a 'perfect' fit position-wise!!! It had been a PAINFUL & unpleasant bike experience for the last 7 years (reluctant to change my 100mm stem but eventually got a 80mm)! Looking forward to more COMFORTABLE & B-E-T-T-E-R riding days ahead... :D
- My Tri Story:
- Was a school sprinter (100 / 200 / 400m & relays) and it took a L-O-N-G time for me to physically change (fast- to slow-twitch muscles) & mentally accept that an IronMan triathlon was even feasibly possible. Finally crossed the FINISH line of IM (Langkawi) Malaysia on Feb 23, 2003! -- Anything is POSSIBLE!!! :D
The cRaZiEsT thing I did with my tri-bike was when I took it in 2002 on a L-O-N-G 14-day, 2223km (1381 miles) solo 'Tour de Malaysia' road trip - not the right bike for the job, but it made both of us STRONGER... [I did the long trip on Shimano WH-R535 wheels. The Zipp 404's came later in Aug'07.]
