She struggled.
One more lesson from Dawn.
I asked her if when she first retired, she'd consider doing what some athletes do.
If you can't compete at the highest level, you compete at a different level.
In her case, that would mean the master's circuit.

That was not for her.
But now that Dawn has satisfied that need for competition with her cooking career, it's actually put Long Jump back in perspective.
What are the things about that that you that you most miss with a little bit of distance?
If Carly's advice can be summed up as enjoy the process, take it one day at a time, then Don's is you might have to try something totally new and it might take time to be okay.
Evolution isn't an immediate thing.
But here's where I'm still stuck.
As wonderful as these perspectives are, the fact is, when you end one chapter and you move on to another, sorry, let me rephrase, when you evolve from one chapter to another, you're still losing something you loved, right?
As you continue to get older, you still have to say goodbye to more and more.
And that, at some level, still makes me sad, mad even.
And folks, I'm talking about more than just sports here.

This is a piece of insight that changed how I think about getting older.
