Caro's Chronicles #2

Jan 6th: Creating The Kron

Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 11:38pm

I’m Kron… sometimes.

I don’t know who first called me Kron. I’m sure someone’s going to take credit.

It's a rowing self. The Kron does things other people don’t, or can’t. The Kron is a little crazy, almost fearless. The Kron is a Character, both in the conventional and unconventional sense. The Kron is really, really intense and pulls splits like the guys. The Kron intimidates people, but that’s what the Kron is there for. The Kron is an incarnation of what is possible.

The Kron is also not always around.

I don’t know if everyone has a ‘training/racing’ personality. I think mine is fairly pronounced. But what people see of me when I’m ‘on’, has become Kron.

I rather like having it. It allows me to keep my life nicely separated. I can go home and be someone else, do other things, have other interests like pretty dresses, cooking, literature, the philosophy of religion, movies and pop culture, then I can come back and talk about splits, 2k strategy, team building, training methods and be Kron. If I had to be that hard-out all the time, I’d just burn out.

Kron trains, Caro makes dinner.
