You know I got a good friend who is an Ironman. He swims, cycles and runs crazy distances and trains most all year round to be able to do this.
I thought about what "My Goddess" does (Fashion designer) and she is much like an Ironman. Ok she doesn't swim, cycle or run crazy distances but she designs, cuts and sews (for hours on end) many many MANY pieces for her lines.
She produces two lines a year, much like prepping for 2 races a year but she does at least 3 shows (sometimes more). A show it is a test of endurance with 10 to 12 hour days sometimes 4 days sometimes 11!!! You eat energy bars and protein drinks and lots of water for dehydration and wear a uniform but don't even get me going on those shoes! My Goddess just finished up the Toronto One of a Kind show and though it was a success (thankfully)it was an eleven day Ironman, but with the help of her support group (me) Rogue and Goddess Mom visiting from Calgary, she did it! Yes, My Goddess' mom (Goddess Mom) came into town for a week or so and was a terrific help to us. It is great when you have a support cast who "gets it" just like an Ironman!
My Goddess is in recovery week (just like an Ironman the week after the race and she is already thinking about 2009!) Wow the coincidences boggle !?!
Though Darren had a amazing year, I'd like to nominate My Goddess for 2008 Ironman (woman) of the year!
Yeah I know there is a couple weeks left but she is far out in the lead with only a few hundred metres to go...
ArrrOOOooo!
