They tell you: 4am wake-up, training, meals, rest. So disciplined. But I know... it was also the long, empty afternoons. Staring at ceiling fan in dorm, worrying if your knee will ever heal.
I left because of that injury in my third year. Now my knees ache from standing at stove, not the track. But sometimes, when mustard seeds hiss in my kadhai, it sounds like the starting whistle.
