I love this song and like this video because it reminds me that I'm so blessed to soon be racing in one of most beautiful places on Earth. I learned last year that Kona can be an overwhelming place. It's a grand race on the grandest stage of all. And just the thought of Ironman in general overwhelms me! But if I think rather of the beauty and mystique of the island, somehow my fears fall away. Last year during the race when I reached a very low point (which happened...um...quite a few times... :), I would look to the ocean and smile. And remember - we get to do this!
15 more days! (and just one BIG weekend of training to go!!)
Love that song as well. It was on the CD we made to be played when we went to the hospital to have Zach. Little did we know I'd be in labor FOREVER and hear that song hundreds of times.
ReplyDeleteGetting excited for you! I can't believe Kona is so soon.
That is a great song. Ironman distance seems like such a horrible distance. :) I'd imagine you would hit less low spots 2nd time around hopefully.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this song! 15 more days, you can doooo it!!
ReplyDeleteI imagine everyone has low moments during that race - even Mirinda, Chrissie, etc.
ReplyDeleteBe you Beth, stay true to you and keep it in perspective.
You are healthy. You get to do this.
