Swim Support - another story of the St. George Ironman from Michelle's point of view...

(edited for more detail to clear up a few inconsistencies 3 days after originally posted) It looked like it was going to be a perfect Ironman race day. Bill and I woke up at 3:30am to load up and head out to Sand Hollow Reservoir with our Kayaks and Paddleboards. Had our regular meetings and split up into group. There were roughly 60 kayakers/Paddleboarders. Swim Support has several layers of help on the water 1 -Kayakers and SUP paddlers in the thick of the swimmers that usually act as floating bouys to get swimmers to help. Geared with Whistles and PFD's - This was my job. 2 - Lifeguards amonsts the swimmers and paddlers on paddleboards to get in fast and quick to a swimmer in serious danger. 3 - Jet skis with sleds to haul swimmers quickly to a boat. They cannot hang out among the swimmers due to the danger of the fumes and machinery. 4 - there were a couple dozen large rescue boats around the perimeter geared with divers, lifeguar...

My mom used to always say...

Actually - she didn't use to say the following... it's just the title I came up with... But do you ever hear or say the following? - I can't get up in the morning because my (husband/wife/ spouse) is a night owl - I can't exercise because I have no time - I can't do it because its too hard - I can't workout because I don't have the money for a gym - I can't eat right because I can't afford the produce. - I can't eat right because I don't have time to cook healthy meals - I can't workout because my health is too poor - I can't workout because I am too old or fat or weak... - I can't------------------- whatever - the list goes on and on and on of excuses people make for why they "can't" get healthy. I laugh at myself for always using the phrase, "My mom used to always say..." and, I am going to use it again... My mom used to always say..."If you DON'T want to do something, any excuse will do." ...

Dirty liars!

I hate self doubt. I take part in weekend Obstacle course training with Tyann Clark when I can. I found that sometimes what seems impossible at first becomes completely doable over time. I have a fear of heights. climbing that darn wall scared me. It seems so silly now to me that trying to get over that wall that is now easy for me, was something that I looked at and wondered if I had it in me to do it? what excuses could I make up to get myself out of looking like a fool if I couldn't do it? NOW.. that wall is just a wall that needs to be climbed - so I do it. NOW.. that wall is easy for me. Then there was that cement hoist. I remember the first time trying to lift that stupid cement block off the ground. I pulled and pulled and leaned back. I looked at that cement monster that was only halfway up to the goal point and I muttered the words "I can't do it." I was lucky to have 2 trainers on my case that day,...
