Triathlon Late Bloomer

It is funny and interesting to say that America is a late bloomer as a continent. Living in this continent is to be behind many conflicts and events played out someplace else before our time; World War I and II for example.  It is also a fact that experience is personal and it is difficult to be convinced about something if we have not experienced it or know a similar event.  Stephen Curry doubts that men were on the moon.  So, it is important for parents and civilization to show the know-how.  Many things can be part of the experience of an entire population if we “really learn from History.” Internet is playing a big role to show the know-how in order to appropriate a larger experience.  Idiosyncrasies are the difference in this globalized world and not the content of the experiences.  In a way, the Aztecs lost the war because of their idiosyncrasies regarding war and not because they were not apt for it.  Our team is a late bloomer because we learned from experience since triathlon started without being part of the triathlon history.  Mexico, except for the Aztecs and Mayas, has being out of the Universal History.  Learning from History is not an easy task.  We have to start with believing what we see as the first step to learn from History.

In our team, we started to review the “old testament” in order to have a better idea of human beings. “Nothing new under the sun,” says the Ecclesiastes.  “The old testament” gives the best “visual” written pictures to learn to believe in what we see.  When Cecilia Ramirez was asked by the Mexican TV if she was afraid of competing against the Brits, Americans, French etc., she just said: “I believe in myself and my team, and concentrated in myself during the race.”

In order to create champions in Mexico, we have demystified many things.  The late bloomers need to believe in what they see and in themselves.
