Decided to try maxing out the forearm machine because why not🤪

This was the MOST GRUELING physical challenge I’ve ever done… and because of that, one of the most mentally grueling as well. •2.4 mile open water swim in endless swarms of jellyfish. Followed by… •112 mile bike ride. Followed by… •26.2 mile run (full marathon). Completing an Ironman race is one of the most ridiculous physical endeavors you can aspire to. It’s insane. I know this. That’s why I set out to do it. That’s why it’s one of the most rewarding athletic feats ever. It’s not for everyone. It’s not something you can expect to train for a month and finish. It’s not something you can muscle your way through. There’s an enormous amount of time, learning your body, and SO MUCH energy. You’ve got to be extremely proficient in all 3 disciplines (swim, bike, run). You have to allow the proper recovery. You must nail nutrition during your months of training AND especially during the race itself. If not, your physical body will just give out. No mental toughness can overcome a unconscious body. You’ve got to invest huge amounts of time into mental preparation: •Building the mindset to endure the hardest physical work you’ve ever done. •Learning to silence the voice of doubt when your body and brain are saying to stop. •Getting up every single day and putting in the work regardless of how you feel. This is all done to finish the race and hear: “YOU ARE AN IRONMAN.” I wish I could give you all the wisdom I’ve gained from this whole experience. Thing is, I’m not done processing what all the intense training and successful race have meant to me. I know the true wisdom of this experience will show itself over time. I will patiently wait and listen. One thing I do know: Welcome to a new level, Jashuha.
