IRON MAN is on the horizon!
Kategori: Allmänt
During the last 10 years of my life, I have dedicated a lot of time to swimming, which is nothing I regret because it's so much that had not happened if I did not do it .. I had not been able to study here in the U.S., would not have met my boyfriend, and I had would not have realized that sports can make me feel so good. This is why I now need a new goal! In August, I was on location in Kalmar when my dad took part in the Iron Man for the first time and it was so incredibly inspiring. I have long known that when my days as college athlete were over I would get started with triathlons, I love endurance sports, I am a pretty good runner, and I bought my first real bike early this year, so now I'm ready!
The first goal is a half marathon in the fall, then a full marathon next year, to get used to distance running, then I will see how the rest goes .. Eventually I will complete an Iron Man. This goal was something I already had before diabetes, but I decided right away I didnt want to let it get in the way. It would feel terrible to let diabetes take over my life and stop me from reaching my goals.
With that said, I'm still aware that it will be a tough journey, but I have never said no to a challenge and am not going to start now! ;)
