Who inspires you? I live amongst all “men” so to speak, as I am the odd gal out. A house full of boys, and a husband. Even the dog is a male! But I must say, my boys are at the forefront of my inspiration. They make me want to be better. Not just a better person, but a stronger, better athlete. Tomorrow is the first race of triathlon season for my boys and I am so pumped. I don’t live my life through them, but I certainly love the excitement and anticipation of the big day. Every race is big, but the first race of the season is key, because everyone is sizing everyone up from the long break from the previous year. They say train a child up in the way they should go….. and we most certainly do that at Casa Rosser.
My boys have been racing since they were each age 6. This is in our blood, it’s what we do. They are my inspiration. Like all good parents, Hot Hubs and I strive to embed a “healthy lifestyle” in our boys, which not only include organic healthy eating, but exercise through sports as well. I guess it has come natural to the boys since Hot Hubs and I have both ben racing for a number of years, but I won’t complain as this is my sport of choice. Race life is crazy! If you race than you can contest to this. But through it all, as I watch my boys train and compete, I am inspired to be better. These boys are wicked fast, well…. in my eyes they are… but I know I can never be on that level. Don’t get me wrong, not that I don’t want to, it’s just the simple fact that I won’t. I’m too old…. there I said it. I never developed the fast twitch muscle as they are currently doing, but that’s okay. They inspire me. They work hard, and they set out to achieve a goal, and by gosh they do it!
The face of determination. The face of I am not giving up. The face of I am here to win. This is what lights a fire underneath me. In their world, it’s limitless. Truly, the skies the limit. I want to think like that. I want to believe that I can win it all. Being around that kind of spunk and energy is contagious. I honestly start to think that way, then when I head out on a bike ride with them, and I’m left in their dust and can’t keep up…. then I remember that I’m 41 years old and not as fast as they are. But this my friends is what inspires me to do better, train harder, keep pushing, and by gosh FINISH STRONG in all I do!
