Today, we met someone who participated in the iron man race. She didn’t like swimming so this was a really big challenge for her and her mentality to see if she would quit and just give up because of the swimming. Fortunately, she hasn’t quit yet and she is still trying to finish the iron man race as she only did half of the race last year. This iron man race is also testing her physical attributes and to see if she can keep up with all the other racers. She didn’t know how to swim before so she had to train every week in order to match everyone else’s level even though she hated it. Luckily even though she couldn’t keep up with everyone else with the swimming she was really good at running and cycling so that helped her.
By her doing the Iron Man race even though she never would have thought she would have done it, she realized that there are much more in life that she could be doing even though she doesn’t know how to do it now, she can have the right mentality and she can practice it in order to match the standard, where everyone else is at.
