I think you need to seperate the way pros feel vs. the way your average triathlete feels. When Dara Tores came back, quite a few elite females complained loudly and publicly about losing "their" spot to someone who already had their turn. I am equally sure that there are a few pros triathletes who feel the same way.
How is it that anyone has "already had their turn?" This is an incredibly silly point of view. If you're getting beat by a former Olympian, who decades later decides to compete again, then get over it and channel the sour grapes energy into training harder, or smarter, or figuring out how to improve your own performance so you don't get beat. It boils down to it's not Dara's fault that the other elite females didn't beat her, it's theirs.
:rantonoff:
Sorry, but that victim mentality doesn't sit very well with me, don't take it from my students, my kids, and especially from myself (and I've tried it numerous times on myself)
:santa3: random Santa smilie…ooohhhh…yyeeaaahhhhh.
