Angry.
Dad:
So you think I should set a goal on running just because I haven't broke my record last time I competed? And that I should stop having coaching from my coach if I don't succeed?
I had FEVER on Saturday, albeit mildly. During the whole summer we practically had no practice to increase our speed, but our endurance and strength. I was surprised Saturday's record even placed second in my list of personal bests, albeit being 0.01 seconds away from my third one. Everyone has their rises and falls, as Mum said. You said you wanted me to break my record every time I compete, yet you don't say that when you didn't manage to break your own marathon record.
Yes, you're aging, and yes, you don't have a coach. But I overheard you arguing with Mum and saying how my competitors were so much more better than I am. Half of my competitors were fifteen, and all of them were older than me. Don't compare, Dad. Some talents come naturally and no matter how hard I try, there will always be someone better than I am, 'kay?
I know you're sick of me being this unsocial kid who has no one to talk to during practice. Maybe that's why you want me to resign from the team?
