His most salient points, and those most relevant to your blog, come in the last 5 minutes. He compares life to improv and talks about how you cannot "win" at life, just as you cannot win improv.

It's easy to make your life ...It's so true. It's easy to make your life all about training, from one race to the next to the next, but then you wake up one day and wonder what else you've got going on and if training/racing is the only thing that will make you happy.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752803019616823043noreply@blogger.com
