I have debated for quite some time whether I want to post these links. I'm not particulary proud of these images. They do no represent how I see myself. Race pics alway SUCK. Still, some may have a sick sort of fascination with what the heck the rest of me looks like.
So...
The bike pic.
The run pic.
Enjoy?

- Just another runner...probably below average to slow...but still a runner nonetheless. Well, I did do a triathlon once. Um, I am working on my doctorate too. But that's it.
Sisu
Sisu is a Finnish term that could be roughly translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. The equivalent in English is "to have guts", and indeed, the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior. However, sisu has a long-term element in it; it is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain the same. Depending on context, "sisu" can refer to spunk, attitude, self-confidence, and so on. However, sisu is not bravery, nor strength, and needs to be distinguished from courage, especially when talking about the military. In contrast, sisu is an ability to finish the task and get things done.
"The credit belongs to those people who are actually in the arena...who know the great enthusiams, the great devotions to a worthy cause; who at best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
