Team effort

My journey to Ironman isn't a solo effort - it's a team effort.  My coach Gen helps prepare me every week to condition my body and mind.  Grant the sports masseuse keeps my legs in good working order otherwise they would grind to a halt with all this work.  John the physio sorts out the niggles and Gill & Ian the chiropractors look after my back - I never claimed to be an Olympic athlete!  I also depend on my wife to keep things together at home and the kids to accept my training time.  My team at the office keep work ticking over when I'm not around.  Then there's my tri pals who train with me and continue to encourage me.  Finally there's you, yes you.  By reading my blog and supporting my fund raising (www.justgiving.com/Derek-Stewart0) it makes me dig deeper when I need to because I know I am going to report back to you.
So tonight I had to dig deep to complete a hard set that amounted to 3,700 metres.  But all the work in the pool over the last 3 months is paying off as I couldn't have completed this until now.  I'm on schedule for the Ironman swim and need to get my bike and run up to speed which I will do when I am in Lanza in March.  But all of this is only possible because of team work.  Thanks team.
