"It is not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing." I think this statement is true and after today at the interservices I will say this I enjoyed every minute of it. You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it. From the start this was going to be a hard tasking but one that I could do if people believed in me, I admit that sometimes my ideas were very advanced and extreme but then when you aim for the moon and miss you fall amongst stars! If it hadn't been for a few members of the committee keeping an eye on me and pulling back on the reins I think that I would have got carried away and over stretched things, making mistakes which would have snowballed into problems.
I think that my problem is the old adj. "If you want a job doing, do it yourself" which means I do not delegate well and take on a larger burden of work. This will however change now that the IS has gone and I can concentrate on my primary role once again.......can some one give me a clue what that is supposed to be?
Once the crowds had gone and the site laid almost bare like a tornado struck American city I was able to reflect on what I had happened, what had been achieved today. Nothing brings you back to reality like picking up litter and reestablishing a site to how it was found. I will reflect now that this was too much of a tasking for one and that my pride will need to be curved before I fall.
Have you ever just sat looking at the same words on a screen over and over again without them registering. I sat and looked at something that I had passed over so many times on the RAF Site, for some reason I was transfixed by the words.
"In a world increasingly constrained by resources and time, sport can be used as both a means of escape and development. Be it in terms of the individual time management required to fit in training around your work and social life, or the leadership to be demonstrated in organising a high class fixture; members have much to gain from the Association."
Today I can say this is something I believe in as I escaped and developed myself. Lets see what life can throw at me now!
well done mate, great race, well worth the journey, pat yourself on the back (as if you need any encouraging)
ReplyDeleteAgree, great job fella, loving your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. You have done a huge amount of work on the Inter-Services. I have to say, this years' event was probably the best Inter-Services that I have competed in - even with the traffic lights! If you had been refereeing you could have DQ'd the majority of the Army for jumping the red lights!
ReplyDeleteWhen and where can we get the full results with splits in all their glory!
Awsome efforts mate on a well organised race. Agree with sags, DQ central for the Army. Thanks for your hard work.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I will say it again "it was nothing really". I just have to find something to do once the dust settles!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing else I can add Mike. It was a great day, well organised and well attended. You really made RAF Tri proud. Thank you and well done.
ReplyDeleteDitto what everyone else said, Mike, a big well done to you. As well as the race, all the other stuff that goes to making a great day out worked, registration beforehand, the food afterwards etc etc. Even Chairman Pete trying to sabotage the awards ceremony didn't spoil the day.
ReplyDeleteChapeau!
