Well, I did it again! It is a true miracle. I never imagined that I could accomplish one sprint triathlon. I never had the discipline or determination. Yesterday, I finished my second triathlon- The Splash at Seaworld. What a soar of adrenaline. If anyone is lacking in self confidence, attempting this will fill you up to the top. I am so proud of myself, I can hardly stand it.
I am so happy that I am finally here. I regret that I didn't push myself when I was younger. I learned that I loved to run in college, but I had other more pressing matters on my mind. After college I was trying to make it on my own, then I got married, then I had children. I was definitely living life, but I didn't realize that God had bigger things out there for me.
It is scary to walk into the unknown. Why do we hold ourselves back? Fear of failing, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown, fear of succeeding? For me it is a little bit of everything. When I try something new I want to succeed. Don't we all? I will not give up. I guess I do have a little bit of determination and discipline in me. We do learn more about ourselves when we step out in faith.
I have grown so much in the last five years! Of course I give God the glory. This is just another way He has blessed me. I know He still has so much more for me to discover.
So, my triathlon time was 1 hour and 42 minutes. I shaved 4 minutes off my first time at the Danskin! I am always telling my boys, "Do your best". Do we really know what our best is? I think it is beyond our understanding. All we have to do is step out on faith!
