The story & lessons from my first Half Ironman. The Anything Goes Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
Back in June 2021, I competed in my very first half ironman (a 70.3). I had only gotten into triathlon as a sport 1 year earlier, having not been able to swim, never really having ridden a bike & not being a great runner.
So in my first year to have completed 8 triathlon and then into my first half ironman, is something I will never not be deeply proud of.
If you haven't already, go back and listen to Episode 52, "My story that broke me then made me & inspired me into my half ironman" because in it, I go through in to the VERY big why about what inspired me into competing in my first half, and the bigness of it all.
'Tying' this chapter off in my life, felt big and emotional. I recorded this shortly after finishing the race, I just never had uploaded it, but it's now time.
p.s I went on to compete & race in a 2nd half ironman less than 6 months later. And still have an episode coming on the lessons from that too!
