I’ve never doubted myself in sport.
Until 10 weeks ago.😮💨
I’ve always found it easy to pick things up.
So I chose a discipline where that wouldn’t apply, no reference points, real difficulty, honest fear.
I remember one open water session where I genuinely didn’t know if I could make it back to the shore. 😨
That’s the moment triathlon stopped being a millennial crisis thing and started being a lesson.
My goal was sub 3 hours.
A part of me wanted sub 2h50 right away,old habits.
But triathlon isn’t improvised.
Being strong across three disciplines deserves more than 10 inconsistent weeks.
First Olympic distance, done in 2:57:26.✅
Not the time I secretly wanted but the lesson I came for.
So what’s next? 👀
