I guess the decathlon's never an easy walkthrough.


The great thing about this is, and not to pump my own tires, but I feel like I'm not maximized yet. I feel like I can still run faster, jump higher, which I think makes it special. Hopefully, going to London, I'll be welcomed into the decathlon community.

I would like to have a decathlon where all of my throws are really consistent and set the tone. That I'm good all-around, not just a speed and jump guy.


I'm just happy to be part of the family, the decathlon family.

There's never going to be a decathlon that you're going to have 10 events that your satisfied with. You're always, always going to be dissatisfied in something, and that always draws you back to try to retry that the next time you do a decathlon. It's like you go for the perfect 10.

The thing I like about decathlon is also the thing I dislike: It's the maximum challenge, but also the maximum frustration.

The questions to ask are, why was the decathlon so popular before, and what happened to make it fade? I notice a lot of things in general tend to follow that up-and-down trend.

Even though decathlon is really long, there's always something different to look forward to, which is great for mental stimulation.
