Mal wieder ein - wie ich finde - interessantes Chrissie-Interview:
Taking a break from Ironman

Da klingt es leider nicht mehr so sicher, ob sie nächstes Jahr weitermacht:

Zitat von Chrissie

I haven’t decided. I have achieved so much, more than I could ever have imagined. As a professional athlete you have to be very mindful of when to leave a sport. I need to be cognisant of that and ensure I’m not only enjoying the racing, I’m enjoying the process of getting there and the lifestyle you have to lead to be able to achieve those goals.

Training, racing, performing, success, adulation, it’s all very addictive, but that’s not necessarily the right reasons to do a sport – because you crave that high.

Einfach nur Ironmans zu machen und zu gewinnen ist ihr anscheinend zu einfach und zu langweilig:

Zitat von Chrissie

I find Ironman easy. Comfortable physically, psychologically easy because I’m satisfying that side of my personality. That’s what people fail to understand. The easiest thing for me to do is to come back. The hardest thing is to take a year out, to step out of my comfort zone, to challenge myself mentally, to be able to cope with not training. That’s what life’s about.

Solche Probleme hätte ich auch gerne!
