Now that you have rested, it is time to accept that you have to move on.
You have to move on after scaling sharp rocks, negotiating 52 km of uncompromising road and living off nature for 48 hrs.
You will never experience such a camp again.
All you have are good memories that you should try to actively recreate as you live your life.
The scars that you have tell a story that only a few would understand.
Everything that you have returned to is the same.
The difference is that you are ready to face the challenges coming your way with new found confidence.
The difference is that your new soul is faster, higher, stronger.
The difference is only 4 olympic days in Pahang.
What a big difference!

A day in the jungle with the Athenians
Later this afternoon we were fortunate enough to venture back into the depths of the Jungle and visit the Athena party. We arrived to a camp well set up for jungle survival with well built sturdy shelters and fires burning. The Athena apprentices were in buoyant mood listing all of the survival skills they had learnt over the previous days – it was clear we were in a well organised camp.
The pupils spent the afternoon competing in entertaining games using simple jungle tools such as leaves to capture and save water. The mood of the camp was cheerful and upbeat, although during discussions many conversations included the topic of food and how hungry everyone was.
This evening the Athena's students are dining on chicken which was prepared jungle style! After the afternoon activities, the pupils observed two skilled Orang Asli slaughter chickens for the evening's feast. The chicken combined with the bamboo rice also prepared by the students will certainly provide them with a well earned and much craved for feast.
