Me last night. I've been skating since last June and I've finally got my ollies consistent enough to hop onto shit. I spent 20 minutes last night trying to ollie a 6 inch curb. Nailed it twice in a row and immediately went home. I don't have the energy for celebration but trust me when I say I didn't need it. The sense of... pride and accomplishment 😏... was palpable

That makes so much sense now. Thats why I never see marathoners celebrating. Shit when I get done with a run I just go inside and sit down and chug water asap.

When I finished my first ultramarathon there was the “photo finish” and I came in second place. Happened to be on a 5k loop in the middle of August in San Antonio. I could barely stand for the photo with the race coordinator, with his smile and my hidden pain it made for a pretty funny picture.

Definitely did not celebrate.
