each day, i meet the most interesting people. Matsui-san flew in from Kona to Oahu yesterday and wanted to surf. it’s her very first time to Hawaii, and it’s her very first time surfing. the interesting thing was she just completed the Ironman Triathlon World Championships in Kona. what???? really???
she told me she was nervous and didn’t think she could surf. i told her “if you can complete the Ironman, you can do anything!” Matsui-san did more than just surf, she rode wave after wave after wave. nonstop paddling and nonstop surfing.
just 2 days before our surf, she swam 3.8km, biked 180.2km, and ran for 42.2km. all in 12 hours!!!! can you freaking believe that???? and add our marathon surf session, this woman is tough!!!
i promise i will never complain about fatigue ever again. and i promise i will never compete in an Ironman event. i’ll just stick to surfing…
amazing woman on her first trip to Hawaii, her first Ironman Championship event, and her first surf session.
congratulations Matsui-san! so these 3 days of Boot Camp will be a piece of cake for you. so easy… smile and enjoy…
since i overworked myself this whole year so far, i decided to give my body a rest. been looking for vacation getaways and i’m looking forward to every minute of it…
