I have been in the sport for 4 years now. Got incredibly hooked amd addicted by training, racing, healthy lifestyle and setting and achieving high goals
Have had and continue to have a great time and will race texas in may and kona in October
However, if I'm realistic I can't keep going with current rythm of trainimg 15-20 hrs most of the year. Its very nice and rewarding but mid and long term it will not work with the phase of my life I'm heading into
Therefore. I'm thinking about how being in this wonderful sport could look like without making it being almost an obsession
Would appreciate to hear from others who gave it all for a few years and then successfully found a good balance
I'm concerned I will not be able to continue enjoying the sport without having big goals, afraid I will loose my fitness, gain weight, start to eat unhealthy etc
I'm thinking about maybe focusing on olyimocic half iron and running races for some time, trying to be fop. Not sure it will require much less trainimg than ironman though so maybe I should just so sports for pure fun
