Training for something like the Ironman 70.3 while shooting or traveling is extremely challenging. But I’ve never liked doing things halfway. This race is a test of not just the body but the mind too. The race route changed after I registered and it’s become a hilly route with lots of climbs. I know I have a long way to go..This race is way way tough than what I did last year. Which is why I need to put in even more effort. Juggling work and training gets tough. But nothing comes easy :)”
