A New Mission

OK guys so here is the scoop.

I've entered an Ironman race in just over 6 weeks time.
On Sunday 7th December I will:

Swim 3.8km (2.4mi)
Ride 180km (112mi)
Run 42km (26mi)

My aims is to complete the event and enjoy every moment of it.

This will be my 5th Ironman start. For the first 3 I tried to go as fast as I could and my times were 9:32 (Forster 04), 9:24 (Forster 05) and 9:33 (Kona 05). The last one (Taupo 07) was 'just for fun' and I came home in 12:44.

This time I'll be doing some preparation so lets see what I can do with the time remaining...
I entered the race yesterday and can feel my focus sharpening.
Now that I have 'definitely committed' myself each day will be a fresh beginning. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Says it better than I could! Right now its 20:32 and I'm going to 'begin' by going to bed!

Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me to pin on a number again!
