What is the thing that motivates you during race? Sometimes when the race is long, you find yourself considering the idea to quit, pick up your stuff and go home to sleep. And what is the thought that prevents you from doing that and urges you to finish the race no matter how tired and exhausted you are and to try as hard as possible regardless of the sizzling hot weather?

As we all know motivation is the most important factor for each sports activity. That’s what distinguishes a true athlete from the other, ordinary people. It doesn’t have to be anything concrete and palpable such as a reward, money or praise. It’s usually something form within, a drive that you must follow in order to be complete and to live up to your expectations. I like the feeling when I cross the finishing line. At that moment I don’t think about accolades or the speed or anything like that. There’s just the feeling that I’ve achieved something I’ve been working on very hard. It’s a kind of fulfillment that is not material. It’s great when you’ve reached your own standards and when you know that what you do has a meaning.
