Can you imagine crossing that line? I think becoming an Ironman is an incredible feeling! Im hoping, or toiling with the idea to give it a go some day. 31 Years old now, Time isn't slowing down, it may be time to start putting a plan in place.
Since moving to Ireland for my wife and I, it has been go, go, go from May 2021. The biggest challenges where sorting out the things we hadn't really thought about. Electricity bills, car insurance, road tax the list goes now. Having figured those things out and getting a general feeling of what salaries need to be made to keep food in the belly, we now feel as if the dust has settled.
I quit my job in April 2022 to search for something new within SaaS, if you have no idea what that is, dont worry that was me 6 months ago. All the software you use to make life easier, better, more productive or just more fun has a team behind it. From Sales, to customer success and designing, these companies do some incredible things.
After reaching out to some friends in this industry I decided to brush up on my CV and start applying. A 9 - 5 as opposed to a 6 - 10am and then 16:30 - 20:30 and sometimes 21:00 started to appeal a little bit more for the sake of many things. Besides not seeing your wife besides one day on Sunday is surely not how a life is meant to be lived. He work hours are 8:30 - 17:30 so it just made sense to be off at the same time.
So that 9 -5 life starts on Monday with a really cool company! i won't say to much and will update you guys as it goes. Lets just say I'm looking forward to it.
How is this all relevant. Well now, its time to look into some events. 70.3 Seems like the natural first step. 1/9km swim, 90km bike and a 21km run. I have done all of these in isolation. The goal would now be to throw them all together in a single event.
So perhaps I should start getting my butt in gear and get this show on the road. Perhaps Ironman 70.3 will be a great goal!
