I am going to write this time in English to honor my international readers - thanx for your support and commitment over the last month!
Nowadays it is quite difficult for me to stay concentrated at work. Of course this is caused by getting emotional each time I ithink of starting at Ironman Austria 2009 - my first one. Tomorrow is also the last working day for me in Austria. Unfortunately I have to travel to Uganda / East Africa until Friday. I took every thinkable precaution measure not to get sick - and I am really worried to travel there, so close to the event...
Never the less, I do my work like a robot, finishing all required tasks in the fastest way possible. It must be the current situation that gives me this extra drive. I did all my training, I feel quite good prepared and still: its not possible for me to get rest in my head.
I believe that this triathlon thing moves me a lot more than I thought it did. Yesterday I rode about 4 hours with my bike and they went by like a blink of an eye. I felt the wind, the speed, the air and i smelled all the lovely odors i didn´t smell before. Something weird is going on with me, but I really enjoy it ;-)
I am nervous - of course. But thats not what its about. I am thrilled, still 2 weeks to go, but I am thrilled! I can feel goosebumbs when I even put on my running shoes or when I wake up to do my morning swim. I must be crazy.
Or its just what happends to people doing an Ironman. I feel so much honor that it is possible for me to enter this race, despite what is going to happen. Over the last months I pictured the race a million times in my head - and the desire to finish has grown infinitely.
Its all about emotions these days - take a look at this video. Maybe you get whats going on with me...
Yours
Norbert
