Ummm. Just to confirm IMNZ is in March. Advice from the hospital stroke consultant is highly intensity exercise is good for recovery. So this is in line with medical advice and gives the rehab a nice positive goal. Honestly, that may end up becoming a 16.5hr walk to finish goal. Or the 70.3 on same day. Or if will be the sub 11hr I was always aiming for.
But there are some specific things I was looking for from people that may have been through a similar event, or have an appropriate background. And then thought someone else in the future may be looking for the same thing, so some record they can relate to would be handy. I note the well meaning intent, but some of the emotive language misses the mark a bit.
For the record, as you brought it up. I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of existing without living life.
I have nothing to add to this thread but want to commend you on this mindset. We all gotta go. May as well come to grips with that, and in the mean time, do things we really want to even if it has a risk of death, because everything including breathing does (eventually we all oxidize/rust out !!!). Sub 11 is in the card, only because you are saying you wanna do it. Step number one for anything in this world is convincing yourself it is possble. Generally we are are biggest doubters. Just be eliminating self doubt you already won.
