Aloha All:

I am not a newbie and have done several races. I have just signed up for IRONMAN Hawaii 70.3 2019, but I am lacking motivation. I am hoping to meet a few people on here to get me going and to get off my butt. I live in Maui and ironically can't find a group to train with. So, I am reaching out in forums to hopefully create a support network. I am 45 and work full-time (10+ hours), which is part of my problem. I am married with a daughter in college and a son in his senior year. My wife does not train and doesn't always love it when I do. Hope to meet some of you.

IRONMAN 70.3 Muncie (2018)

Hey Rob:

I feel your pain. The motivation piece can be a moving target. I've struggled with it myself. I crashed at mile 52 in the same 2014 Boise HIM race you were in. Besides the seven broken ribs and broken collar bone the crash also killed my motivation for several years.. It really took me most of three+ years to start to generate enthusiasm to go out and train again.

I'm back at it now and did a number of Oly races in 2018...and have more on the calendar for 2019. I'm happy to trade notes, ideas, motivational tools and a gentle push if you need a digital training partner.

Let me know if I can help.

Best,

Steve
