Thousands of people complete an IRONMAN every year—from every corner of the world and every walk of life. While we are all uniquely motivated to chase the glory with varying methods of training, different ideas on nutrition, and different courses beneath our feet, thoughts like the 20 below are common across all of our 140.6 mile journeys. What would you add to the list?
1. The Start: "I have to pee. I’m going to pee in my wetsuit. (Cannon sounds). I'm not done...oh well, I might as well just swim."
2. The First Buoy of the Swim: "Winning."
3. The Second Mile of the Swim: "My goggles don’t need to be 100 percent on, this is fine."
4. The Last .4 Miles of the Swim: "What in the actual…did they measure this wrong?"
5. T1: "I feel so refreshed! ROOOAR! Did you SEE all that swimming?"
