Triathlon and Cheerleaders II

I listened to Emma Coronel’s interview regarding her life with Joaquín Guzman.  Well, I could be listening to Sarah Sanders and her statements, they are the same:


Can we have champions in triathlon with this kind of thinking and education?
The type of education needed for champions is not what Sanders and Coronel have in mind.  What we learned from what they say is the scary reality of humanity; we went too far creating “monsters” that could destroy us.  There was not Nazi guard that felt bad for what he did, or bad about what he was living. Fortunately, they were not too many, but we are not in the same situation nowadays looking at people as Sarah and Emma.  Trump speaks about impeachment with the same insight as Sarah and Emma:
If Donald Trump is starting to get worried about his position after his week from hell, he isn’t showing it. In a blustering interview with Fox & Friends broadcast Wednesday morning, the president claimed it would be impossible to impeach him—because he’s doing an “A+” job.

Well, Trump is not a champion and never would be.  Bankruptcies to earn money is not a strategy of a champion but it can give you money as it happened with Trump.  We will never see his tax filings.  The route to be a champion does not allow “fake news” and “fake information.”  It is just a matter of looking at Kristian Blummenfelt and we can see what is needed:  a lot of honest and hard work.  His work is in Strava.  Although, many people would believe that he made up mileage using his car.

The Mexican walker, Lupita Gonzalez (Gold Medal in Rio because the Chinese was DQS for doping), gave positive for trenbolone; she claims it is from contaminated meat.  But from what we know, she made big changes after the Olympics and she could hardly tolerate needed training after a long haul rest; she most likely used this kind of help offered by ignorant and ill-advising people around her. This is not different from Emma Coronel, but Lupita has not money as it is the case of Emma.  This became a huge problem for Lupita and probably the real end of her career (money recipient).  Education to overcome this kind of hurdle is badly needed, the ability to know “who is who” in order to make decision regarding training and nutrition.

Emma and Donald speak quite the same.  These guys are historic figures to study to learn about human ignorance.  We have gone too far in democratizing thinking and behavior to the point of having these people making decision for many.  We continue to work with our kids to create something different; at least they should know “who is who.”
