The end of the month soon approaches quickly. With that in mind I am struggling for a constant consistent training base for the Ironman that I intend on doing next year. The date is not set as of yet, but will be released as soon as the Ironman in Coeur d'Alene is done with at the end of the month.
Spare time is a luxury these days with having to work every other weekend and six day work weeks. For a triathlete that is something of a concern. If I had my way, I'd work less for sure...just dreaming. But that'd be everyone's dream right? However, the confirmation and payment of the 600 dollars it takes to do an Ironman can bring concern for a healthy and injury free journey.
I am looking forward to that challenge as that is my character. I always do my best in every effort... I have the utmost respect for those athletes who do extreme endurance sports. Like the cyclists who participate in grueling endurance distance races, and the ultra runners who can run day and night through harsh terrain. Or how about the long distance swimmers like several hard working Dads I know who will swim raging water swells in the ocean and would easily consider a long distance swim from Catalina to Long Beach in a heartbeat. I am so proud to know athletes that do these very cool sports. Individually, the training involved to become good is pure dedication. Kudos to all for their efforts..
In my life... spare time is but a luxury. My trek to the hardest thing I will ever do in my life is but one year and seventeen days away.... aahh.
I'm just a normal person with a goal for the extreme trying to make non existent training time a positive reality....cheers to the effort of all our best...
