GETTING TO THE TOP

I think of countless birthday parties and nights out I have missed，ruining a family holiday in France because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in，almost missing my brother's wedding because I was too busy hiring a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the “no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes ．(9)The list is endless．

It boils down to this：I was born with an enormous amount of drive and determination．From a small girl，I would stay in at lunch time just to get ahead on class work rather than go out and play；I would get the bus on my own at ten years old and go to swim 100 lengths of the pool while other kids played pool games (10)；I was the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys．I have always lived my life to extremes．Call it unhealthy if you want，but that is the way I roll，no matter what it is I'm applying myself to ．(11)

Doing what we do as athletes sets us apart because we are willing to do that extra little bit that might take us to the top．(15) It is certainly not a balanced way to live and it is certainly not normal but those words are generally not used for anyone who is striving for greatness (16)．

登上巅峰
为什么奥林匹克运动员要将自己逼到极限呢？作为一名奥林匹克运动员，我错过生日聚会，破坏家庭假日，晚上不出去玩，但有一个很好的理由放弃这么多。“我们很担心你。”坐在桌子对面的朋友说。他担心和我一起训练不再是一件愉悦的事情，担心我处于只剩下一块世界冠军奖牌而无人可以分享的危险境地。
我可能会变得愤怒或戒备。难道他们不知道要成为体育界的领军人物有多难吗？难道他们不知道达到这一目标需要什么吗？然而，在内心深处，我知道他说的有些东西是对的。我总是很累，每次训练都在精神上高度集中，似乎对大多数人来说都难以承受。我在挑战极限，超越了大多数人认为的健康极限。
作为一名职业运动员，我每天都要面对这些恐惧。我这么做是为了谁？多少才算太多呢？我为何这么做？我怎么能这么自私？这些牺牲是为了什么？
我想起我错过的无数的生日聚会和深夜外出；因为无休止地寻找一个训练的游泳池而破坏的在法国的家庭假日；几乎错过我哥哥的婚礼，因为我在约翰内斯堡市中心忙着租车，且开车穿过“禁入”区以便和当地的铁人三项运动员一
归根结底：我天生就是个特别有干劲和意志力的人。从小女孩时期起，我就常常在午饭时间待在家里，只是为了在功课上领先，而不是出去玩；我在十岁的时候会自己坐公交车去游泳池游50个来回，而其他的孩子在泳池玩游戏；在一个有250名男生的橄榄球俱乐部里，我是唯一的女生。生活中我一向把事情做到极致。你若说这是一种病态也行，但这就是我的做事风格，不管做什么我都会全力以赴。
成为一名职业运动员没有什么不同。如果你想成为奥运冠军，就要在训练中多付出那额外的一点点，它将使你从竞争者中脱颖而出。
这样会不会太过了？绝对的。但如果你的梦想是成为最好的，并到达胜利者的平台，你最好是完全致力于你的运动。用英国铁人三项运动员阿利斯特尔·布朗利的话来说，即使意味着受伤，“我宁愿有三到四年出色的获胜经历，也不愿有十年平庸的经历。”
作为运动员，我们所做的事情使我们与众不同，因为我们愿意多做一点，这可能会让我们达到顶峰。这当然不是一种平衡的生活方式，当然也确实不正常，但这些话一般不用于任何一个追求伟大的人。Section Ⅱ LESSON 2 & LESSON 3
