[ Being … A Planner ]

Finishing one Ironman triathlon wasn’t enough for me. I started planning number two within weeks of the first one, choosing the June 2016 Cairns swim-bike-run.

Another long-range plan, requiring more schedules and spreadsheets and tracking and reading and learning, planning nutrition and fitness, and planning how to peak 12 months later.

The thing with plans is, they’re only a guideline. On the morning in Cairns, a tropical storm blew in and the 3.8km swim was a choppy washing machine of despair. You can’t plan for the weather! Still, finished the whole thing, and again looking forward to the next one.
