For me suffering has two meanings. Suffering can be negative. If you try to suffer for its own sake, that’s bad. That’s unhealthy. There’s something wrong in your head. But when you talk about suffering that you must get through and that you can survive through enormous effort, that is something else. That is positive, good and beautiful. Beautiful because you think of courage, of stamina , loyalty, the willingness to make sacrifices, modesty and love. From this perspective, the suffering during training, during sporting competitions, while doing one’s job, which all require great effort, is the same as religious suffering. It is love. It is beautiful. I like that.
Time Trialed the Fletcher Course this morning and tied my best time from last year. I have more I think. I had a full bottle on the bike and I think if I do it on a day when there is a group I will go faster. (23.57)
