The Measure of Victory

236,160 minutes ago the UCL in my left elbow was torn.
  36,160 times to relive the experience. 
    6,160 push ups, pull ups and weights lifted.
       160 (plus four) days of therapy and rehabilitation. 
         60 minutes until I find out if I can compete this season. 
           
           6 minutes on the mat is what I have worked for.  
         86 miles round trip to practice.
       186 days until the start of the season.
    9,186 more pull ups, push ups and shots to be taken.
  59,186 times to believe in myself.
259,186 minutes until I step up higher on that podium than you.

How do I measure victory? One moment at a time.
