I have just one more sleep until I fly out for Chicago for the 2015 ITU Triathlon World Champs.
Today just as I was finishing my training session I thought to myself this is actually happening!!! I paused for a moment and thought HOLY SHIT! In December last year when I competed in my first triathlon I never dreamt I would be doing this 10months later. I remember when my coach said I should try and qualify and I thought she has got to be kidding!
10months later I've completed 2 half iron mans, 1 team half iron man doing the swim and run, my first standard distance tri and now I'm off to Chicago. Although I've always been told I can achieve anything I put my mind to, that I can achieve what feels impossible, today is the first time I've 110% believed it. There is nothing in this life that is out of my reach. It's about how bad you want it, what you're willing to do to get it and your passion and drive to achieve it. So as I jet off to Chicago to compete I know that this is just the beginning of the crazy adventures I will experience in my life and I can't wait!
Below is a little video one of my best friends Michael made of my Half Iron Man race in Tauranga earlier this year. I had all of my closest friends and family there and it was such a special day that I'll never forget.... 1. because I have never been in so much pain in my life and 2. because of the over whelming support. So to all my friends and family who support my goals thank you all so much!
