Hurdle #1. I couldn't swim not even a little at all.
Hurdle#2. I didn't have a bike nor the money to buy one.
Hurdle#3. I didn't have a plan or a way to execute one even if I had one.
Hurdle#4. Self Doubt I mean Ironman really I have never done a tri nor could I swim talk about overwhelming.
This was in January folks it is funny how all the self help books I have read all say the same thing. Get started I have to agree just start and things will work themselves out here is an example of how
I decided to start so I knew two things to begin I need a plan and place to train so I hopped online and found a free beginners tri plan (not what I wanted but it was better than nothing. Then I got a gym membership. I then followed the plan and did what it said. As I continued to work out I enjoyed it and learned to perfect my efforts and then I learned about heart rate training and drastically changed my training.
This change literally made me fall in love with what I was doing and I could not get enough this was critical because this is the point when you start deciding on how to keep this feeling. You get passionate about wanting more of the feeling u and work on creating that. Over the course of the last few months this has occurred for me.
Then the accident occurred I was rear ended and as a result my car was totaled I was lucky for two things a great bill of health and good insurance. Fast forward a month later once my claim was settled and u will find that I purchased my bike for my triathlon. Now with a bike a plan and more heart than anything you have ever seen. I have committed to taking on Kona I have a long way to go for that but needless to say I did what the morale of this post is.
I took the first step
Good Bless Amen Tweet this!
