Triathlon and Coronavirus III

We would like to speak about triathlon exclusively, but there are many things related to it, even when we have a hard time seeing the relationship.  Coronavirus brought the best and the worst of our repertoire as human beings.  Athletes left the team at the beginning of the pandemic, “rats leave the sinking ship first,” says the adage.  But they thought we were sinking.  If you see our previous post about coronavirus you will see that we stopped to rethink and to take care of important issues. Coronavirus destroyed Trump, it was not the Democrats or Trump’s scandals.  It was reality, coronavirus (something real and dangerous) showed what Trevor Noah says: “Trump might be even more ignorant than we thought.”  Bolton said the same and added:  "He’s corrupt and inept.”  None of them said something we did not know, but the coronavirus made it clear because our life is at stage, there is no time for doubts regarding what we see.  The same things for the politicians around the world, not to mentioned our Trump in Mexico. 

The WHO made it clear that it is a political instrument instead of an institution based on science: 1) First the use of masks; they denied it and later accepted. 2) Use of steroid in coronavirus patients; they gave a categorical no, but later congratulated the British group for the research on steroid and coronavirus. 3) Mentioned that the asymptomatic patients “rarely” infected people; later said something to justify their lack of information.  The ITU gave lectures on triathlon for kindergarten but information was obsolete even for kindergarten.



Believing is what makes the champion, but believing in reality.  If we lie to ourselves, we are not able to improve in any way.  Coronavirus confronted us with our death.  Death is the point where we cannot lie to ourselves.  There is a joke regarding a patient who went to see a doctor that mentioned that he had cancer. The patient said: “Did you say Pisces, doctor.”  The doctor replied: “No, I said cancer.”  The champion should see and believe the reality exposed above.  We start from here to believe that we do the best training available and we should deliver that training based on sounded scientific facts.  You will find the information here.

I will leave you with Cerón, our favor non-african marathon runner, a real Mexican champion.  Just by curiosity, listen to the narrators' biases.
