When I used to race bicycles, I couldn't come close to keeping up with the
men in short races over flat ground. But in long road races through hilly
terrain, I could beat many of the men due to my lighter weight and greater
endurance. It wasn't that I bore pain cheerfully, though. I hate pain. I
could just keep going all day with no pain.
