I Underperformed in Today’s IronMan Training so I Punished Myself

I’m trucking my first @ironmantri (Steelhead) on June 28th. In order to finish this Mother F’er you have to swim 1.2 miles in Lake Michigan, then bike 50 miles, then run 13.1 miles. I’ve never done anything this stupid in my entire life. 🤓🤪😂 I got my assed kicked in training today but I found some more clarity on the other side. After I nearly drowned in Lane 1 at the rev center 25m pool I was pretty disappointed so I ran 4 miles in personal record time 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I learned that sometimes you’re going to fall short in the beginning of trying anything new. My #selftalk asked “are you just gonna go home like a puppy with his tail between his legs or are you going to do something about your disappointment?”.... 🤔 F it, I’m running 4 miles right now. Literally, from the parking lot, I threw all my stuff in my car, presses my GPS button on my watch and started running my ass off. To put some whip cream on it I did @onepeloton spin class when I got home and banged out a 3rd workout. I’m tired as hell but I feel good. 🙏🏼❤️ #canthurtme
