Some of you may have followed me in my last adventure 10ironmansin10daysitalianstyleblogspot.com
Your support and comments made my trip a memorable one and helped immensely.
I actually thought that I was done with this type of race but somehow I got caught up in the idea of a new challenge and the lure of a new location in Italy. If they thought I was crazy before, what are they thinking now. Before I would try to defend my insanity, now even I have more questions than answers.
Right now everyone is asking me how I feel and am I ready. My answer today is much different than what it was a year ago when I signed up for this event. A lot has happened over the course of a year, I lost both my brother and father to cancer. My sister has health issues she is dealing with and I have had a lot of heath and personnal obstacles that I have had to deal with. Am I doing this race to help deal with my issues or am I doing this race to avoid my issues. That is the real question. Despite all of this I have decided to do the race. Am I worried about this adventure Hell Yes, it scares me to death but I have bought my ticket and its time to put up or shut up.
My biggest fear is disappointing everyone that is watching me. Everyone says just do your best but I feel the pressure.
Tony - my favourite children's story is about "The Little Engine that could". He kept saying "I think I can". I often mentally repeat "I think I can" when any task is tough going. Good for you to have the guts to try!!
