You just entered mile 10. Time to tighten up the pack wipe the tears of pain away and start walking on pure will power and stubbornness, the stubbornness to no quit because quitting is the easiest thing in the world for anyone us to do. It’s not about being a doormat; it’s about finding the better Ironman in the end. The guys on the bus get no respect if they just quit. The ones at the finish line who can hardly walk and are pi$$ing blood are the ones who celebrate. They have accomplished something.
