While out for a walk this morning, I was thinking that I would never be able to do another Half Ironman event. I did the Busselton Half Ironman two years ago, and finished with a foot injury that has just had surgery on about two months ago. I have been told I wouldn't run again and after a while I became ok with that fact. Though walking today it crossed my mind that, what if...I could power walk the run section of the event. I am still able to swim and have been told that cycling will be fine as well.
With this idea running through my mind all day, I have managed to walk today 8.75km at work and walking from home to work as well and return walk. Its been so long since I have been able to be on my feet for this distance in a long time. The thought is to continue my swimming this year and re attempt Rottnest Channel, and then take on more intense training from March 2017 and do the half Ironman in May 2018.
No matter what we are faced with, I am sure we can find an alternative and keep going, even if that direction has to change just a little bit. Never Say Never, if you do, you might just miss out on an amazing experience.
Have a great day.
