My coaches said I wouldn't get alive to the IronMan but I did. With 4 different injuries throughout 2010 and about 12 IM70.3 on the logs I swam, biked and ran almost 18.000km last year.

Should I die before the next IronMan, know I died doing what I loved doing.

Perhaps I did die then, but know I did while truly living.

@GShock112

Kudos to you my friend! Alot of people die regretting they didnt accomplish what they really wanted to.

@TheWinner82

My IM70.3 is performed in training in full race simulation (T bags, time limits, etc). It's my standard training distance, performed almost every saturday. You don't need to race it... you just get organized and you do it, albeit it's dangerous... holes in the streets and traffic make it so.

The real IM comes either once or twice a year (France if 1, France and Germany if 2) and yes it's a HUGE expense.

[TheWinner82]

@GShock112 hey buddy, you must have spent a lot of money in 2010 then: 12 x 250 $ + 600$ just for the races itself, not including travel costs, food, equipment etc... you must really love it , respect!

[cicirunner]

I'm sure you get this all the time, but what is the name of this song?

[ryanrat09]

wow. this is awesome.

[MrSwimmingmango]

DAM i'm pumped time to get back and swim 2 hours every day !

[Liendeni]

Nice video but you have the WRONG caption over the wrong faces. You have "weak minded" over perhaps the greatest Ironman person ever...Paula Newby Frasier. What she accomplished as a female outshines what any athlete, male or female, has ever accomplished since. Give her credit.

[MrSwimmingmango]

Fantastic Sums up a Triathlete and Distance Swimmer.

Amazing music to

[ripster532]

[megaboganboy]

[rakabir1]

I cant swim that well :(

[142civilwar]

Doing my first triathlon this Sunday and boy am I pumped for it thanks for the vid makes me want to train and do this race even more

[Amelia12345678901234]

I myself am a triathlete and I must admit that I love it but the Ironman is a little too long and too difficult.

[thirdfuerst]

@cpalen Well, I have not trained/raced in the past couple years because I was finishing my seminary education, so I looked here for inspiration - which apparently makes me less than you?

I guess as a pastor (who works with youth), I don't "get it," but I thank you for the proselytizing efforts behind your impenetrable mask of condescension & self-inflation.

I can't imagine the "other things" you use to occupy yourself to be too fulfilling if your spare time is spent trolling on YouTube.

[cpalen]

@thirdfuerst Still racing/still training-still doing IMs and getting another Master's degree and working with kids who need my help. Hope triathlon is the end-all and be-all for you...I need other things! (more important things...the wisdom may come someday...or maybe you will never get "it".)
