Some races are not about times or PBs. Ironman 70.3 Goa was one of those races for me.
More than five years ago, my first attempt at this distance ended in the heart failure ICU, not at a finish line. Coming back to a 70.3 took time – physically, but even more mentally. I needed a lot of confidence to even consider trying again. This race happened because my husband simply signed me up and because so many people believed in me and supported me all the way back to that start line.
