What I think is about running faster and faster, and I believe that will translate into medals.

I would like to leave this world and never return. I severed my ear, but how I wish that I had severed my heart. I shall never amount to anything.

Vincent Van Gogh

As the joke goes, you don’t have to be faster than the wolf chasing you, just faster than everyone else running away.
