WALKING A THIN LINE

To be fully transparent with you, I was keeping a bold-goal of mine a secret, for fear of failure!  I was even telling myself, that I didn’t really want this dream.  I was subconsciously suppressing my dream to avoid being disappointed by walking on that thin line… and the worst part, I was starting to believe my own lies.

YOU DID IT

In life we tend to settle.  Get comfortable.  Complacent.  We get numb.  There is so much more out there and racing allows me this opportunity to connect deeply with myself, explore the world, and remind myself to never ever settle in my life.

OK TO WANT WHAT YOU WANT

Exactly two years ago, October 30, crossing the finish line of Ironman 140.6 was the first time in my life that I felt this absolute bliss of freedom.  Magic.  Like if I grew my very own set of wings.  Wings!  I was fucking high for days post race.  I was fucking high during the 6-month training to get body to the start line.   I was fucking high during the race.

I have been searching ever since for other life experiences that give me this sense of magic.  I have been craving for more.  Wanting for more.   Dreaming for more.  It is not that I am dissatisfied with my present. 

It is knowing what you love and wanting more of that.

LEASHING YOUR DEMONS

I stood among the top triathletes in the world and everybody looked incredibly fit, strong, and ready.  I judged myself and felt not good enough, an imposter among the top Ironman athletes of the world.

An imposter?  But how when I qualified for this race and my Ironman ranking as All World Athlete is silver in my age group.
