#decathlon

Before the decathlon I'm constantly trying to convince myself that I want to do this, that I want to take myself to that place where it's going to hurt and things are going to be tough. But that's like anything - you want to give your best. ↗

I don't think anyone chooses the decathlon as much as it chooses you. ↗

I'm competitive. I like to compete, and that's basically what the decathlon lets me do. ↗

The thing I like about decathlon is also the thing I dislike: It's the maximum challenge, but also the maximum frustration. ↗

There's never going to be a decathlon that you're going to have 10 events that your satisfied with. You're always, always going to be dissatisfied in something, and that always draws you back to try to retry that the next time you do a decathlon. It's like you go for the perfect 10. ↗

Think of the life of the working woman as the decathlon. If you even finish it's a miracle. ↗
