I made it through week five and quite honestly have no desire to keep going. Ironman training and "racing" (more like participating) definitely served a purpose in my life at the time I did it. I met some fantastic people, had some amazing experiences and traveled to places I probably would have never traveled to. But at the end of the day (well, the end of this past five weeks anyway), I discovered it's not something I particularly want to do again. I absolutely don't mind the "pain" of training or the time required to do it. I just don't seem to enjoy it or get anything out of it anymore.
Which begs the question I've been asking myself for the past three years (or if I'm really honest with myself, the question I've been asking myself the past 15 years) - what is it I want to do with my time. What is it that gets me fired up and passionate. I still don't know. I'm not sure I ever will. All I can do is keep trying to find it.
In the meantime...
