PEDAL IT

As the pedal moves, so do I. Well, really the bike moves which then allows me to proceed.

I just left the Team Indoor Bike Training session at Tread Bike Shop in the Heights. Fifty-five minutes of speed intervals directed by Coach. That was the hardest bike workout I have ever done. The bike is the biggest portion of the Ironman race so I need to work hard on this Bike training. The thought of one hundred and twelve miles of biking on race day sounds daunting. Who signs up for these kind of races?

Apparently this was my season to say YES to the 140.6 Miles that is an Ironman triathlon. My life will never be the same once I cross that line. Even now my life is changing. This dedication and hard work over these past six months is transforming me into an endurance machine. The finish line is four months away and I still have a great ways to go with my training.

In light of all the sacrifice that comes with Ironman, I am truly appreciating this journey.

Stay calm and focused Joseph. Be in the present. Enjoy this time. Don’t jump too far in the future. The work you put in today and the workouts to come are all deposits in the Ironman Fitness account which is compounding for an awesome race day experience.

Trust the process. Enjoy the journey.
