Monday Morning Motivation – Crying in the Rain

I liked last week’s motivational video about Isklar Norseman Xtreme Triathlon so much that I went hunting for another one and found this one from 2014 – enjoy!

“The tears stream down my cheeks from my unblinking eyes. What makes me weep so? There is nothing saddening here. Perhaps it is liquefied brain.”
― Samuel Beckett

Isklar Norseman Xtreme Triathlon is considered the ultimate triathlon on the planet, and the race that any hard core triathlete should do at least once. http://www.nxtri.com

Everybody who has done Ironman, I think it’s on the bucket-list to do.

It’s probably the most iconic, tough, ironman-distance race and there is such a mystique about it and a beauty about it.

You don’t know if you’re going to finish. You don’t know if you’re going to be able to do anything at all.

It is a true challenge, whereas an Ironman is more a parade where people are just clapping and cheering.

The process of getting ready for a triathlon is the hard part.

Coming here is the party.

It’s the combination of something I have worked so hard for to accomplish.

This is a good day, an easy day, I’m eager to get going.

I’ve got butterflies going crazy at the moment, so I keep trying to just think about my day rather than worry about all these very tall, athletic Norwegians.
