This is My Goal – What’s Yours?

Comments Off

I recorded this video after my final pre-race simulation for the Augusta Half-Ironman on September 27, 2009. Becoming a triathlete is something I’ve always wanted to do, but until this year I never backed up that dream with action. This video is a celebration of the fact that if you start taking action to put your goals into motion, then you can accomplish anything. In my case, I’ll have finished the 2009 triathlon season with 2 Half-Ironmans, 9 triathlons overall, and a marathon (coming in November).  I’m proof positive that with enough faith and dedication, anything is possible. I’ll have gone off the couch to become ranked 9th in my North Carolina Triathlon Series age group.

Although this race is yet to be completed, I’m looking at beating my previous time by 2 hours…in less than 4 months. If you’ve got a spare minute this Sunday to send some good will my way, feel free to do so :) Also, if you are in the area or at the race, look for the guy in the black 2XU top and bottom.

(lingo note: AG = Age Group, Clearwater = Half Ironman Championships)

    All the best for the race. Hope you can get someone to record bits of it for us. It'll be good to see you in action.

    Ya! Get some footage of the race if you can. Best of luck and I'm sure you can do 5.5 hours! Looking forward to hearing how it's going. Is there any kind of live online feed of the times at the transitions?

    There will be an online feed at Ironman.com – I'll do my best to take some video and pictures from the course and definitely when I'm enjoying my post-race Guiness!
