A day like today, but in a year time, and if things go as planned, I'll be on the Ironman Kona start line. It's the triathlon mecca and where the majority of triathletes have always dreamt to be, being amongst the best triathletes in the world.
Many times, mainly when I was preparing my first Ironmans, I wanted to start writing a blog or a website, to explain all the feelings and hundreds of things that go through your mind and experience while preparing such a great race like that, we spent so many hours training in solitude and thoughts flow in our minds. I have timidly attempted to start a blog/website, but I am not a great triathlete, neither a great sportsman, and I don't have special qualities which makes me different from the rest, that's why I have always believed that nobody would be interested in reading my thoughts, ideas or experiences, so as many other people, it ended in nothing.
But, precisely the fact of being a popular triathlete, working on a full job, having a family, and not having any special quality, in the end I have achieved my dream, being amongst the best. I have finally realized that this is the main reason why some of you can feel identify with myself, and I believe this is a good reason for writing a blog and let you be with me along this year of fulfilling dreams. Maybe, those who follow me throughout the year I might serve you, at some point, as inspiration to fight and achieve your personal challenges, whatever they are. If that happens, all effort will have been worthy.
Therefore, thanks for your company, and I truly believe that it will help me to be there on the 8th October 2016.
