Ironman’s motto is “Anything is possible”. Most of us who do Ironman know this to be true, but most of us have reached a place in our training and/or on race day, that it is difficult to believe that anything is possible. As we take off our race numbers after competing in the half and we start to prepare for the full, it is a good time to remind ourselves of the Ironman motto.
We were about 6 km into our first bike lap, still chirpy and full of energy, but struggling with that long, slow poison of an uphill. We were about 12 people riding closely together (NOT DRAFTING) and it must have looked like a smarty box as we represented all categories of fitness levels and body shapes.
This is the story of our December Competition winner, Ivan Baker's most memorable Ironman moment. This moment inspired Ivan. Maybe after reading, it will inspire you too...
