I have been reviewing my progress so far and comparing myself a bit to where I was a year ago. Part of my problem was I jumped in with both feet, now in one respect that is good, but in another, I wasn't prepared, physically or mentally. I started out of the gate sprinting (at least for me it was), and that proved to not be sustainable. When I couldn't maintain that pace I started to struggle mentally as I felt that I was already failing just after a few weeks. This year I have taken a different approach. I don't really need to win the race, but it is more about finishing. I have developed a pace that is working for me, and I am slowly increasing it when I can. Although, my numbers are slightly behind of where they were a year ago, this is about the time I started to struggle. I have no doubt that my numbers are only gong to get better from here.
So, I'm happy where I am this year and I'm looking forward to further progression.
Accumulative numbers are:
SU - 1600
PU - 2300
Km - 48
Chucks - 82
Kempo - 20
AOK - 80
Thanks for reading.

It took a couple of years in the I ho chuan to figure out what was sustainable for me and then build from there. Sounds like you are on the right track.
