Journey to Ironman - Intro video
Posted by admin
It was such an inspiring day watching all the competitors who have obviously spent so many hours training and preparing for this one race.
99% of the competitors have no aspiration to win, however they have a drive and determination that helps them to not only conquer the course, but often their own personal journey along the way.
So here I go!
So I thought I would give it a go.
I have done a few half marathons in the past (I took forever!!!), and am helping two Gold Coast cyclists prepare for their own big journey, but other than that have no experience in the sport of triathlon, or for that matter endurance racing.
For some reason the Ironman intrigues me and I want to not only find out what it’s like to finish an event like this, but also what it’s like to devote so much time to training for one of these events.
My Diary
As part of this journey I thought it would be interesting to keep a video diary along the way and I am going to post regular video’s on the site so that other’s can share in my journey.
Here is the small video that I made whilst down in Port Macquarie in April. (To watch a clearer version just double click on the video and then click on ‘watch in high quality’ on the YouTube page)
I am posting it today, as today marks 20 weeks until the Half Ironman that I need to complete before I am eligible to have a crack at the big one. Stay tuned for more updates along the way.
