Interestingly I just noticed that I started this blog exactly one year ago today. The purpose of it was to chronical my journey toward my first 70.3 race. At the time I thought I needed something to keep me accountable (besides my Coach of course) and focused on my goal. I'd always found that it was way more difficult for me to chicken out of something if I'd told alot of people about it.
Fast forward 365 days and I've come to learn that I have become a triathlete. I raced the 70.3 distance (almost twice - ha!) and instead of coming across the finish line feeling like I had ticked off a monumental box on my bucket list and could move on I looked back on my races and analysed what I'd done right, what I'd done wrong, talked to my coach about what we should change, etc. I look at this sport and specifically the training that is required for it as an essential part of my life. I've met amazing people that inspire me and have helped me to see what I'm capable of.
In the 365 days since I started this journey my life has changed tremendously and for alot of reasons I've decided to take a bit of a hiatus from blogging. I am focused now on training for an Ironman (who would have ever guessed) and improving my 70.3 times. I know that I will be focused and dedicated to training without having to report in. I will be fine. And I will crush next season.
Thanks to everyone who took the time out to read and comment. I will continue to follow your journeys and wish everyone the most success.
Peace out.
