00:00So today is the first day of Naseba 7, my first Ironman.
00:17I'm going to swim 3.8km and I'm going to bike 180km and I'm going to run a marathon.
00:23I'm nervous but today is day 1 of 7 days of this so it's kind of like I'm trying to compartmentalize
00:30each day so I'm looking forward to just getting on with it.
00:50Today we are in Fujairah, we'll do the first course of the 7 days.
00:56I don't think in this challenge we have to think about 7 days in the future,
01:01but each day is special and each day we take it.
01:05I feel much better than I expected.
01:26My legs are sore, I don't sleep. The hardest thing is that I don't sleep.
01:32I've slept, last night I slept maybe 3 hours.
01:36The night before, I slept from 12 until 4.
01:42So that's the hardest thing, my legs hurt of course, but I just focused on today.
01:52I don't want to get ahead of myself, you know.
01:55If I get too comfortable, I'm going to fail.
02:25Jump! Jump!
02:46This week is an ode to the greatness in man.
02:50Not because I did something physically challenging, that's not interesting.
02:55What I did is not interesting, it's the story.
02:59I'm an average cyclist, I'm a terrible runner, I'm an okay swimmer,
03:06but I wanted to achieve it so I focused and I made that happen.
03:11Too many people are sitting around wasting their lives, letting their life pass them by.
03:19Don't let your life pass you by, seize it, make it happen.
03:24Thank you very much.
