It Just Looks Easy

If the road ahead is filled with stones, make them stepping stones.

Well, just got back from Hawaii. I have to say that standing and watching an Ironman is an effort in itself and for all those who come out and support the athletes all day, good on ya. Ironman 2007 was a hot one and full of surprises. I also realized what great athletes these people are. I know from experience that in heat like that I would have been hard pressed to do more than walk. Actually, I was having a hard time just walking around to different view points to watch the race.

The pros looked so smooth and effortless, even though I know by their finish times, they were moving.

Standing on Alii Drive later in the day, it was amazing to see how many people looked like they were loving it, even though you could see they were struggling a bit. As the darkness fell their big white smiles glowed in the dark as brightly as their glow sticks and the finish area was full of great emotion.

Thanks for reinspiring me.
