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.

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

A FUTURE THAT I LOVE
I nearly had a meltdown earlier this year - my close friends and husband can confirm. I felt overwhelmed by life. So much to conquer in 2018 and my excuse was that I don’t have time. I had to re-evaluate my career dream. I had to be honest with myself. I had to speak my truth of what I truly wanted.
“I don’t have time. I am to busy.” is my constant excuse for not getting shit done in living an epic life that I love. The truth is that I lack prioritizing, making choices, and being honest with my dreams.

GRUELING RACE
Someone recently asked me, if the race is so grueling, why put yourself through all that suffering? No, it was not my mother, she has stopped asking me why.
My answer has always been I enjoy pushing my limits to the edge. There is no bigger sense of accomplishment that overcoming the suffering when you cross the finish line. You feel like your flying. Like if you have wings.

LUCKY 5
I came into this race with two goals: get one more race before the end of the year and race with JOY.
But fuuuck... the swim was not joyous. It was not fun. It totally fucking sucked. If I chose joy I would have asked to be pulled out like many others were doing. So I quickly had to change my race goal and word.
