After much contemplation and deliberation I have decided to do it - enter an Ironman Triathlon. I guess I was always going to from the day I witnessed first hand, this remarkable event unfold in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in 2005. Shortly after, I recall being questioned about whether I would consider one day giving an Ironman a crack. My vague reply hinted that yes, I would certainly consider it...one day. Putting some more thought into it, I then made a loose pledge that I would complete an Ironman within 5 years, before I turned 30.
So here we are in 2010 and that pledge has been significantly tightened to the point where a plan of action has been developed in order to reach the start line at Ironman Australia on Sunday, 28th March. I have decided to keep a record of this 12 week journey to help myself and others, better understand what goes into achieving Ironman success.
Superb to see that the commitment made 5 yrs ago is going to become a reality! Only wish i could be there for you as you were for me in the lead up to your first and on that incredible 1st race day!
