About
Snippet
I
thought
back
on
my
running
career
at
Oregon.
I'd
competed
with,
and
against,
men
far
better,
faster,
more
physically
gifted.
Many
were
future
Olympians.
And
yet
I'd
trained
myself
to
forget
this
unhappy
fact.
People
reflexively
assume
that
competition
is
always
a
good
thing,
that
it
always
brings
out
the
best
in
people,
but
that's
only
true
of
people
who
can
forget
the
competition.
The
art
of
competing,
I'd
learned
from
track,
was
the
art
of
forgetting,
and
I
now
reminded
myself
of
that
fact.
You
must
forget
your
limits.
You
must
forget
your
doubts,
your
pain,
your
past.
The replay is still saving.
