How we see others

My daughter Lisa is in Abu Dhabi at the moment - they start a 6 day adventure race tomorrow morning (go to www.ar.co.za for race info and links to the tracking site).

Lisa is a prolific writer; where she gets the time from to do many pre-race, during race and post race reports is a bit of a mystery. But report she does and her posting today is quite funny and I wanted to share this with you.

She has posted quite a few photos of herself, with her team and other people. I know that I always have this idea in my mind that Lisa is a really big and strong (and fearless) girl. But when I see her in photos, she is usually amongst the smallest of the girls and much, much smaller than the boys....she is really quite tiny.................hmmm funny isn't it?

Practical approach to new challenges:
The race starts tomorrow; this is the fast and furious warm up leg, with a shortish paddle in funny looking inflatable canoes; then a fast run and another paddle to wherever. Lisa says that paddling the canoes will be a bit like paddling a jumping castle....

And her strategy for this leg of the race: "to just go like hell". Sometimes this is the very best thing to do.....
