Almost to Present Time



Fast forward, almost to present time. October 2015, four seasons of training, racing and a few injuries. Sprints, Olympics and a pair of 70.3's. 

 There is something about this sport that is like a spell that is casted and takes hold of you. For most of us, this is true. So here I am, I did it, I registered for my first 140.6 Ironman, in Maryland. Wow! The funny thing... I wasn't planning to do this big of race in 2016 but a series of signs set me on this path.

I am really excited to be doing this race and to have a few of my teammates doing it as well. This will be helpful as I get further along in the training process and need support for some of those grueling bricks that will eat my life away.

 My Coach John Pottebaum has assured me that this will not be easy but it will be well worth the journey. No doubt.

If you think you can escape this, look again. "Yes, I want change to happen, I understand that it needs to happen but please don't let everything turn to chaos." Again I ask, is chaos the initiation to transformation?  Change moves us from one pattern into something new. In this process a pattern must be broken for the new pattern to be created. When something breaks, fragmentation occurs. The law of natu...

"But seek no haven in my shadow, I will give you no hiding place here. You, created only a little lower than the angels, have crouched too long in the bruising darkness have lain too long facedown in ignorance.  your mouths spilling words. Armed for slaughter. The Rock cries out to us today, you may stand upon me: but do not hide your face."
