Triathlon and Winning

The concept of winning has different meanings following the enlarged diversity in western societies.  Winning has to do with meeting the goals and the goals are different depending on the people.  Trump is here for at least four years and the Mexicans are concerned about the consequences.  Well, it is not the same for every Mexican.  Since I was born I know that the enemy is at home, our governing class, including our justice system.  Trump knows that most of them are corrupted and involved in illegal businesses.  Trump in power is like a red light in their head; somebody else above my helper knows they are corrupted.  My helper knows that nothing will change for her with Trump in power.  Goals are different, the job pursued will be there for her because it is an honest one. The others will be worried because the cake gets limited and observed.  We have to augment our honesty index pressured by the circumstances if we want to achieve goals.  Please see previous post.

The President of the Track and Field Mexican Federation was detained because he has not given details of how he used $250.000.00 dollars.  He is a scapegoat because frauds exist in all the Mexicans Federations; except that the others considered paying a lawyer and an accountant to look like they are not stealing money or working for the athletes.  Lozano hired his “buddies” to do the accounts and the legal matters and he ended up in jail.  By the way, the amount claimed must be at least three times more, but the Mexican authorities did not work hard enough to find the rest missing.  Unfortunately, this is not the main problem.  The problem is the obstruction, the inefficiency, the arrogance and the mediocrity surrounding these people.  Juan Luis Barrios said what I mentioned long before it happened:
“Aunque ya tiene la marca requerida, e incluso cumple con el tiempo para los Juegos Olímpicos en los 10 mil metros, Barrios debe respetar las reglas. Hace poco me presentó su renuncia como becario de CIMA, pero espero no hacerla válida. Ojalá nos podamos juntar con Bernardo de la Garza para que todo se solucione”…
En caso de que Barrios decidiera no asistir a la evaluación que se llevará a cabo en el estadio Roberto Tapatío Méndez de la UNAM, podría incluso perder la oportunidad de asistir a los Juegos Olímpicos.

“No creo que sea sano dejar fuera de los Panamericanos a nuestro mejor atleta y perder la oportunidad de sumar al medallero. En mi época sólo se trataba de dar la marca, no de asistir a Nacionales, pero tenemos que adecuarnos. Estoy optimista en que todo se resolverá para bien y no habrá necesidad de que pierda el ciclo”.

Are they going after all the Mexican Federations because they do not do their job?  I doubt it, most of the problems are revenges for old matters; they do not care about athletes and performance.  Augmenting the honesty index is the only thing that could help us improve as a nation and as triathletes.  It is the only way to win:

I let you with the enjoyment of listening to Carlos Slim interviewed by Larry King.  Many things to learn from him for good or bad:
