I've been battling some demons lately. I lost 6 weeks of time on the bike and the run due to a knee injury. My fitness is greatly diminished and Ironman is a scant 7 weeks away. I've thought about bagging the race many times but I'm haunted by something John Collins (the founder of Ironman) once said. . .
"Ironman is about finishing what you started; its about doing what you set out to do. Maybe not as fast as the guy next to you, but certainly faster than the one who never started.--John Collins
You can quit. . . but no one else cares and you'll always know."
I'm determined and optimistic. My goals for the race have changed, but I'm still committed to finish what I've started.
