“Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.”
David Mamet
“Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.”
Nice quote, oh yes!
True in cycling, no doubt about it.
Personally, I’ve never run past 26.2 and there was more comradery then competition.
The treachery part comes from your legs and lungs, then telling yourself the finish is just over the next hill.
Old age (experience) part is telling more lies, it will feel so good to stop at the finish...
Not when your old age knees hurt.
I'm down to half marathons and 10k's. Too much knee pain and sore ligaments and not enough knee cartilage.
