I hope you enjoyed the lesson and I will talk to you in the next one.

You still there?

You know what time it is.

It's story time.

Hey, I said it's story time.

All right.

So I'm going to let you in on some, uh, it's not really a secret, but I

am preparing for my first triathlon.

It's an entry level triathlon, meaning that I will swim for 300 meters.

I'll ride my bike for nine miles and I'll run a 3.

5 mile.

Run like 5k, basically.

So I'm preparing for this triathlon and part of the preparation involves

me riding my bike almost every day.

Right.

So I have a bike that I can ride outside now, road bike.

Um, but I had an indoor trainer during the winter.

So as I'm riding my bike these days, I've started to reminisce on the

times when I was in college and right after college, when I first started

getting seriously into cycling, right.

You know, as a kid, you ride with your friends, but right around my

senior year in college and university.

I started getting more serious into cycling.

So I bought a bike and I invested money into it.

And I remember this is maybe a year after I graduated from university.

My friend called me one day, one morning, and he said, Hey Tiff,

you want to go riding today?

And I said, yeah, let's do it.

We rode a lot on the weekends.

He said, all right, Tiff, um, but this time we're going to do a

more serious ride up a mountain.

I said, Oh, okay.

I was always down for a challenge.

He said, now this mountain Tiff, um, coming down is going

to be a little bit tricky.

So I got up on it and said, okay, yeah, I'll meet you there.

No worries.

So we get to our location and it was Mount Sano.

In Huntsville, Alabama.

And so we ride up the mountain and again, you know, when you're riding, it

requires a lot of, um, leg work, right?

Your hamstrings, your, your, um, your thighs, everything is burning.

Right.

So we get to the top and you're like, yes.

Okay.

The hardest part of the workout is done.

And he looked at me and said, Tiff, here's the thing.

We're going to go down this mountain.

I said, yeah, smooth sailing.

He said, the only thing is.

We are going to hit speeds that we've never hit before.

And I was like, explain.

He said, we're probably going to hit 40 miles an hour on our bikes.

Now, 40 miles an hour seems slow when you're driving a

car, but when you're on a bike.

With wheels tires that are this thin.

I want you to think about it to road bike.

The tires are this thin and you're going 40 miles an hour passing cars.

There were moments when we were coming down the hill where we were passing cars.

That's how fast we were going.

He said, just remember.

Avoid all the rocks, you know, just stay focused.

So even though coming up, going up the mountain, the hard part was

our legs are burning, going down the mountain was harder because we

had to mentally focus even more.

We had to be aware of our surroundings even more.

We had to make sure we knew when to break, when to release the brakes,

when to lean in, when to lean out.

So I remember as I was going down the mountain, was it exhilarating?

Yes, indeed.

It was.

But was it also a bit nerve wracking?

Yes, indeed.

It was when you're passing cars, going down this mountain on a bike

with tires, this small, this thin you're thinking to yourself, Lord,

please don't let there be any rocks.

Lord, please be with me as I'm maneuvering through these cars

and going down this mountain.

And I got to the end of the mountain, to the bottom of the mountain.

We both stopped and we looked at each other and said, Whoa,

We made it and we laughed.

This is the message I have for you.

You're on this journey, right?

You're on this journey as you're learning English, right?

And in the beginning, it is extremely tough, right?

You're working different muscles.

You're trying to memorize all these grammar rules, memorize all

of these words and expressions.

And then you get to what feels like the peak where you're able to

explain, express yourself, right?

Intermediate level.

And you think, oh, okay, maybe it's smooth sailing.

Now you're going downhill intermediate advanced because you can still, you know

how to ride, you know how to speak, right?

But you're learning new things and you actually have to focus more.

It's not requiring the same physical energy as it did when you were a

beginner or a beginner intermediate, but now it's requiring different skills.

You have to focus in a different way.

So for you, my friend, upper intermediate advanced level English learner, I want

you to remember that as you're on this journey, there might be moments where you

feel like things are happening faster.

You feel like you don't know what's going on.

Hang in there, stay focused and realize you will get to your

destination and I'll be there with you.

I'll talk to you next time.
