Where are you going to do this half ironman? sounds exciting to do with your daughter. As far as your doubts are concerned, the effort spent training and pushing through the doubts and other 'stinkin thinkin' during training will pay off; you can only compare yourself with yourself as you were a few months ago. Thanks!ICHING Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507271994036196120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847634876971271509.post-71610831853356355422012-01-19T12:59:00.204-08:002012-01-19T12:59:00.204-08:00Please write more.

I do not have the best equipment- money is an issue. And I do not have a rock hard, or young, body. Your blog motivates as a regular person with normal worries trying to do an amazing thing.

So happy for you that you finished the race & feel good about it. We do too!

If it's not my awful thoughts taking me out then it's my fear others think bad thoughts about me. The list could go on. Fortunately, I like you, go forward anyway. Good luck in your next two weeks.
