How appropriate the name of the race was called What is Your Limit.
I guess with theses circumstances my limit is exactly what was received. I don't think there is another Canadian that has done more than 10 Ironmans consecutively before, and I know that no one has done two individual deca's in a months, with a collective total of 21. Under the circumstances I should be pleased with this result. There is always that part of me that wonders if circumstances where different, could I have done the 30.
I'm now recuperating and trying to get the swelling to go down in my legs. Time heals many things.
This has been a challenging time in my life and a great growing experience. I have met so many people that have inspired me and made me look at things from a whole new perspective. A lot of people have called us many things such as crazy or nut jobs. One of my favorite things to do is to run on Saturday morning with the run group. It's not for the exercise its for the coffee and conversation that happens after. I suppose going to these races gives us the opportunity to connect with each other and share our stories that no one else can understand.
I am also so grateful that my wife and family give me the opportunity to discover things that are out of there perception of insanity. They were not happy with me going but they never stopped me from achieving the goals that I desired.
Everyone know wants to know what's next. Truthfully I don't know. I'm anxious to get back to my regular life that I so enjoy.. I'm glad I stayed and left nothing on the table and I walked away knowing that I could achieve no more. I refuse to live my life wondering what if, I prefer to ask. Why not..... I believe that there are a thousand opportunities out there that we can explore, you just have to forget about fear jump in feet first. It's shocking at first but exhilarating while you are there.
