We are less than 2 weeks away from Vineman 70.3!! I say WE because YOU have been there to support me over the past few months (heck, some of you for years now). If you have kept up with my blog (www.climbfitness.com) you know the battles I have had in recent months. This road of training and trying to persevere hasn’t been a normal one. I will take the WINS (record setting $4,200 already raised) and celebrate them. Regardless of the results next weekend, I feel like – in a way – I have already won. Simply training for this race has helped me realize so much – not only about me, but about the sport, about hardships, and empathy. And that’s just the surface.
Everyone has been so generous it is overwhelming. Thank you. Thank you.
I will leave you with a few “business laws” from my dad:
- “You never really know the result of an alternative”
- “Analysis is one thing, but action/execution is everything”
I doubted whether I even wanted to do this race after my father passed away but I already know my decision was better than the alternative (bailing out). I have put in as much training effort / time as my body and mind could give me. Now it’s time to execute. Let’s hope dad is right!! (he usually is)
