[ Being… A negotiator ]

By the time my fourth Ironman came around, the 2018 IMWA in Busselton south of Perth, I had a rhythm to it. I had knowledge, experience, and some skills. One can’t do something as momentous as multiple Ironmans and not learn something along the way. 

I also learned the need to facilitate, and negotiate.  Negotiate for time, attention, resources. Other people in my life also had to be on the journey, whether they knew it or not, liked it or not. We all had to negotiate, we had to accommodate the priorities, we worked it out together, made it work.
