That's a great way to look at it.

Leo was born not long after the Tour de France. During some of the more difficult bits, I imagined it was like the guys cycling up the mountains. I knew I could get to the top, then it would be a rush down the hill until the next "mountain". Use whatever helps, endurance racing, sport analogies, adventures.

Like Ruth08, I was so proud of how I did I could have done it again a couple of weeks later.
