IRONMAN PORT MACQUARIE - TOMORROW đ đ´ââď¸ đ
For Isaiah John , more than 8 months of work comes down to one day.
Eight months of early alarms. Sessions in the dark. Huge training weeks. Long rides that take up half the day. Kilometres upon kilometres on tired legs. Hours in the pool. Training before work, after work and when it wouldâve been much easier to stay in bed.
There have been good days, tough days, setbacks, breakthroughs and plenty of sessions where nobody was watching.
Tomorrow is what all of it was for.
The fitness is built. The kilometres are banked. The work has been done.
Now itâs 3.8km of swimming, 180km on the bike and 42.2km on foot between Isaiah and becoming an IRONMAN.
When it gets hard tomorrow - and it will - remember every early morning, every long session and every sacrifice that got you here. Youâve already done the hard work. Tomorrow is about trusting it.
Eight months for one finish line.
We couldnât be more excited to watch you cross it.
Go get it, Isaiah John. Time to become an IRONMAN. đ
Coach Tom Hill will also be racing the 70.3 tomorrow after a very last-minute entry - his first 70.3 in over 7 years.
Big day ahead for the Compound crew. đ
