2014 hasn't gone as planned. I'm injured. This is the first time since i picked up endurance activities where i've had a significant injury. I remember reading that one way to look at Ironman or a goal is like climbing a mountain. There is no real direct way to the top. Sometimes, you reach a point where you have to backtrack and take another route, sometimes there are obstacles in the way. I gotta realize by doing what i need to now in a way is preparing for the ironman by getting healthy again. Its all steps in the right direction.
On a side note, my bday was recently, and got spoiled... i'll be rockin' a new swanky helmet for this season, and a neat swim training tool - the roka sim shorts(http://www.rokasports.com/sim-pro-short-mens-neoprene-swimming). Looking forward to giving these a go as soon as i'm able to.
