AYLI: What would you say is the non-fitness attribute of yourself that is most different now than it was before you started competing in triathlons?
This is Part 2 of our interview with Kona Ironman Randy Steuve. See Part 1 here.
AYLI: Describe for us the emotions you were feeling in the last few miles of the race?
Randy Steuve is a compelling guy whose pursuit of excellence in Ironman distance triathlons has inspired us over this past year. We’re often moved by his eloquence in putting the mental journey of an elite athlete into writing, so we wanted to sit down and ask him some in-depth questions about his experience at Kona last month, which represented the culmination of an arduous and committed path towards this goal. This interview is in three parts… here’s the first installment. Enjoy the insight and get inspired:
The process of training for and competing in an IronMan needs to be experienced to truly appreciate it. We spend months (and years) building up our training volumes and intensities in an effort to hit the starting line at peak condition. The physical training is long and hard, but I believe it’s the mental focus that sets athletes apart.
