Omg I love this. “I don’t know why these people are out there, devoting their lives to this particular form of self-torture, training for so many thousands of hours to gain glory in a sport that offers the equivalent worldwide fame of competitive whittling.”

I also find running gruelling. Swimming and living. Brutal.
