Just number 41 of the magazine "BB" where he collaborated again with a small column of opinion.
Here you have it:
Setbacks and hopes
A few issues of this, our journal, I commented in a metaphorical rather my journey through a tunnel, a tunnel were a few minor problems of health that I have not had enough time to get out cycling normally and regularly.
Well, when the tunnel showed me hopeful clarity the start and was beginning to accelerate smiling to finally see the light, the fortune (or should say misfortune) wanted to have a diversion tunnel and tuck me again in the dark.
This time seemed to be going for even longer, because, leaving aside the metaphors, I found a benign tumor in the head and had to undergo surgery where they opened me to remove it.
"Well, it is removed and you are" is what I thought. But as the tunnel seems to enjoy my presence and my company, while open head doctors encountered an unforeseen problem, and after collecting all the sawdust that had fallen to the ground and put it back where it was for the thing function as before, I closed and later discuss how to solve the problem of tumor. Well
. Well what can you do. Life is full of contingencies that may affect our morale, but those who walk in the bike and have suffered in so many hills, walks, paved roads, crossings, storms, frost, hail and hardship do not know how many more we have, or so least most, I think, a more positive outlook on life.
this setback may now come to me annoy me a bit, but I know that sooner or later it will happen, as I knew it would come to the top of many ports they have suffered, or knew that the cold and forget the rain as hot out of the shower, or how he knew that after the section of glass block is awkward glory, or as I knew that when you run out one day, the next you are better. Setbacks
. If all goes as planned, life would be very different, perhaps even boring. Although some will say that blessed boredom, and may have reason. But setbacks
against a weapon that always works well. Maybe my companion column, Eva, could devote one day a paper to explain the basis for the operation of this weapon, I guess I will have it. Or they may not have, because it is a weapon that I do not know if it comes in psychology textbooks, but I know it works. And there is nothing but illusion.
I at this time, and since doctors told me the setback, do not think of him continually. Instead of what he is continually think in three or four outlets in special bike I want to do, and I'll do this year before returning to an operation.
At first thrilled me the plan of Easter Week, in which I go with my family south to enjoy quality time with my wife and my son and do some miles on roads there do not know.
Then I have a real enthusiasm on Route Beacons of Menorca, which will go in May. It's a beautiful course in a beautiful island, and I know I will enjoy this weekend with friends like never Minorca, as always.
I have, also, a tremendous enthusiasm to complete in June by the full path of the cyclist Liege Bastogne Liege. After the Tour of Flanders two years ago and have not been able to go last year, the health (and by the volcano Eyjafjalla), the Amstel Gold Race, will a classic day I dream since I was told to see if I was pointing.
and prolong the illusion, of course, until the summer. The days that I will, as always, watching the Tour in the Pyrenees are always some days I enjoy most about the whole year, for many years. And then this year we will for the first time a trip of three steps in my life Club, the SC Bilbaina. A beautiful journey in the summer in the Pyrenees with my friends. How not illusions.
Anyway. Whatever the problem on your mind you I recommend you to think beyond the time and I marquéis some exciting goal in that dream.
Oh, and that the illusion does not become an obsession. If for whatever reason there are new setbacks that prevent us from fulfilling our dream, keep one thing clear, there will be more exciting days in the future.
Many times we can not change the facts that happen to us, but we can change the way in which we face and how the events affect us. Have no doubt about it. Pain is temporary.
