As usual, you've hit on something that I instantly identify with. Looking backwards, the suffering is forgotten but the sense of accomplishment remains. You've inspired me. I'm a member of your tribe. Pleasure manifests itself in many ways and this is one we share.
As well as the anticipatory kind. Headed to Japan this fall for a difficult hike up and down cliffs along the sea. There's pleasure in looking forward to it. Actually doing it will probably involve some suffering. And looking back at it? More pleasure. It's a pleasure sandwich. The best kind.

I love the idea of a pleasure sandwich: bread (anticipation), filling (the event!), more bread (retrospection). Want one?
l’d also like a pleasure sandwich!
