Team McAlister

that the goal is achievable.  Although there are still countless hours of training ahead, set backs, injuries, plateaus, and lows to be overcome, I am convinced that a complete Ironman length tri is possible.  I pretty regularly complete sprint lengths in training at various intensities.  The running is coming along, even if very slowly.  My cycling is in an improvement zone that amazes me right now.  (I am NOT looking forward to the next plateau in cycling.)  My swimming conditioning is improving steadily, as are the kick and stroke techniques.

This is an interesting evolution for me.  While still not absolutely certain that I’ll ever complete the event, I am beginning to to develop a clear vision of what is possible.  That may be a function of reading extensively about triathlons and triathletes; perhaps, of timing and testing myself during training.  Whatever is helping create the confidence, the fact that the progress is there contributes to the cycle.
