My Total Immersion Transformation
You guys, I'm going to be honest with you here... I said yes to completing an IRONMAN 70.3 without knowing how to swim. That's right, for those of you who think you remember a time "swimming" with me, think again. I've never been in the water long enough to be noticed. It's always been exhausting and embarrassing.
But let me tell you, God is good. I found a blog online of a triathlete who didn't know how to swim and then found a method that rocked his world. I ordered it for myself, started reading and watching the DVD ("Total Immersion" by Terry Laughlin). I go to the pool every morning with my dad (and now mom too!!!) at 6:00am to just practice, practice, practice. I'm still learning the art of balancing in the water. But after a week of practice, I can already tell that I AM BUILT FOR THIS. My confidence has gone through the roof and I am SO EXCITED!!!! I pray and talk to God all day asking Him to help relax me and open my heart and mind to be teachable. It may sound cheesy but it's real man. I'm doing it and I'm so proud of myself.
Also, My friend @reyannahleenewyn sent me a link to an awesome shirt that I totally relate to so Kylan took the main idea, and designed and ordered one just for me! In case you can't read it, it says: "IRONMOM: 70.3 miles of peace and quiet." Haha it's so true. I've been LOVING waking up early to go swim, enjoy the quiet, and work hard before my kids get up. I feel so much more awake and ready to face the day when I come home showered and ready to play.
So this is just me documenting my journey to becoming an IRONMAN!!! I'm so capable and God longs to see His kids face their fears and become strong warriors in EVERY facet of their lives! So here I am baby!!!! Let's do this!!!! 💪
