Why Underdogs Thrive When They Have Nothing To Lose: Three degrees of suffering—the terms of endurance

Published in Human Parts. This article is about my first-ever Standard distance triathlon I did this September, at age 54! It’s a story about resilience, and how I endured the race with a hour of sleep, sore calves, and plantar fasciitis in both feet. It’s told with humor, honesty, and being okay with being a “slow” racer.

Hi Dracul. Thank you for your comment. Sorry to hear you were homeless for a period of time. I’m glad you’re back on your feet and fighting for what you believe in!

Very true.
Underdogs thrive when they have nothing to lose.
For example when I was homeless from summer 2016 to the spring of 2017, writing my blog on the computer in the public library, I started verbally attacking those promoting the New World Order with a vengeance .
And I’ve been attacking them ever since.
As Janice Joplin used to sing, “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.”
