RE: Three Months of Steemit – Who Am I?
Well I apparently didn't see your original introduction, so I'm glad you did another! It's great to know a bit more about you, though I'm a little intimidated to be in the presence of such an award-winning photographer! ;)
Gotta say, an Ironman sounds like one of the most miserable things ever, bu that's awesome that you're doing it! I absolutely love most sports, but long distance running just has no appeal to me haha. More power to ya!
Thanks dude! Haha award-winning in a fairly niche field ;-) we see wedding togs all the time who think they are gods gift, they seem to completely forget that literally every other field of photography sees weddings as the easy option anyway! Also the whole awards thing really is BS, it's totally awesome, but really it's just one or two peoples opinion on a given day!
Haha dude I love the idea of a full Ironman, I want to get a good performance at a half first, but yeah, love it! Although that's partly because I've not got the all out speed for shorter triathlons!! Ironman's great because it's all like a brisk plod!
Don't sell yourself short haha, still impressive :) But yeah, I can see how the whole awards thing could be a little fickle!
Haha that's awesome! I specialize in brisk plodding! But not for long distances ;) I'll just have to come cheer you on as you run haha.
P.S. I sent you a message on Discord a couple days ago, not sure how often you check that so thought I'd let you know!
Haha well the goal is to one day qualify for Hawaii (Kona - the Ironman world champs) but I'm sure I could squeeze in a quick Ironman across the pond ;) Seriously though it's just about getting used to plodding, I think that's why I love tri, I've come from a proper sports background but at my first 70.3 I was being overtaken by people who were in no way natural born athletes, but just pushed themselves to do what so many people find incredible! Made me realise how easy I have it as someone who's had a lifetime of high level sports as a 'base'
Oh man, that's awesome!
Hmm, I hadn't really thought about it that way before! I guess there is something really cool about people grinding it out through sheer willpower. Definitely makes you appreciate the effort they've put into it a lot more than say a 7 foot basketball player who is at a natural advantage.
