Just like Flipper...

Well yesterday was an OK day. I set out to swim 1500 meters (which I did with three 200 meter speed sets) and to bike for 70 mins. Well the 70 min bike didn't happen because I didn't wake up to go to my usual spin class so I had to go after work and sit on an electric bike which just plain out sucks! Sucks hard. I did get to 40 mins and 11 miles. Ohh well, I will pay for it in the end.

So how competitive are you guys? I am very competitive. I am so competitive that I really hate to lose. I feel like I have this passion inside of me that if some "real" athlete had my burn and desire to win they would be the #1 draft pick and go on the the Hall of Fame. Seriously, I can't stand to have someone do better than me and we just talk about how well we did or how well you did when I know I could have done better. Sometimes this tri stuff is not a game to me it is a way of life in the fact that it places me some where on a list and ranks us humans. Don't get me wrong I love to see other people do well and to reach their accomplishments but that drives me to work a little harder the next time I go out and train for something. Does this make me a bad person? I think not because I am very supportive of my friends but at the same time they push me to accomplish things that I probably wouldn't have ever done. One final rule to the above statement. The Ironman is something that I can't fathom and I was drawn to that by Dr. Love and the passion those people had that finished. That is what I want. I want you to see me crossing that finish line with passion and excitement. Don't worry I will have my picture posted on here of me crying and making a loud tribal yell when I cross that finish line and I am officially an IRONMAN!
