the worst thing that can happen to a fighter

This weekend I got destroyed. It was the worst I have ever done in an event of this distance. I tried a couple different things, I did a lot of things wrong and I got crushed. My time shows. And it feels like the hardest race I have ever done, is always the last one I do.

I've forgotten everything I learned from Rocky III. I met my Clubber Lang. The champ got complacent. I've lost my edge. It happened to Rock in the 2nd round, just my 2nd round was 6 hours and 50 minutes longer than Rocky's.

That's the last race I'm on the starting line unprepared, not trained to kill it. I need to find the feeling I had the first time I attempted one of these races, going these crazy distances. I need to listen to Apollo. I need to get that look back in my eyes.
