Wristband Time Indicating Excitement Or Terror But Either Way It Means You’re Alive

Hi folks! Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve had wristbands attached during my life for only two reasons, surgery and triathlons. They each come with their own feelings, but I must admit that I prefer the excitement of triathlons.

Once I was going through a hard time in my personal life, and commiserating with a friend, when he said, “Good and bad feelings come and go, but either way it means you’re alive!” I digested this fact, and somehow it made me feel better. Then another bus came along in due course, and all was fine.

This is one reason I like Ironman training, the excitement of the races. It’s infectious and motivating, making all that training worth the effort.
