Without desire, forget it!

When I was 12 years old I wanted the body of Bruce Lee from the film Enter the Dragon.  It has never happened but at least I know why. I wanted it but didn't want it enough - I didn't have the desire.  The Mission Ironman journey has taught me what you are capable of if you desire it enough.  In my journey I meet lots of people who "want" something but unless they are really serious about it then there is no change. So if you are wanting to achieve something extraordinary in life or business first of all work out why you want it and how much it would mean for you to achieve it.  Then plan out what you need to do, have a monitoring system to ensure you are on track and get on with it.
This week was a planned "recovery" week but don't take that as being easy.  Today the week finished with a one hour turbo session followed by a "run off the bike" (a brick session).  I now have two days off before starting another tough 3 week programme.  So the plan is constantly building with a target in mind that I desire.  That's my secret in how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things but raising money for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres is close to my heart and that's what drives me.
