Swim, Bike, Run, Repeat:  The Mental and Physical Grind of My Ironman Triathlon Quest

Swim, Bike, Run, Repeat:  The Mental and Physical Grind of My Ironman Triathlon Quest.  In this week’s episode I share with my viewers my year long journey to completing Ironman Louisville! “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” ~ T. S. Eliot   Personal growth can happen when we allow ourselves to push further than we ever dreamed possible.  There came a time in my life where I started seeking out incredible challenges to see what I might be capable of actually doing.  Part of my journey was tied to my job as a firefighter/paramedic.  Another part of my journey was pursuing a higher education.  However, it was my physical journey that I found myself being challenged in ways that I never had dreamed possible. After having ran over a dozen marathons I decided it was time to challenge myself in a huge way and committed myself to training for and running an Ironman Triathlon.  If you are not aware of what that entails it is, a 2 ½ mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile run, 140.6 total miles. In this episode I share how I had to take the first 6 months to simply learn how to distance swim and ride on a tri-bike.  Every step of the way took total focus and I developed a mindset that would allow me to see anything other than success.  My goal for sharing with my audience about my personal achievement of Ironman is, the hope of inspiring others out there to go for something bigger than they have ever dreamed of. This experience changed me in ways that I would have never gotten otherwise.  It taught me how to have impeccable time management, extreme determination, incredible flexibility to life and above all, how anything can be possible when you go all in on something.  If you would like to see my wife’s journey to her completing her Ironman you can watch her 6 episodes on YouTube.  The channel is called, “Southern Ironmom”.  You can also go to my website www.motivatewithcoachcamp.com for other inspirational and motivational content.
