Who inspires you?

A conversation with a good friend of mine is the inspiration behind this entry. She is a wife, she is a triathlete, she is a monther of an autistic boy, she is a carer for a father with cancer.

She is optimistic, she is a go-getter, she has goals yet she is realistic about what she can achieve. She is smart as she also has a plan.

Juggling between taking care of her work, immediate family and her dad is not an easy task. Yet she manages well and at the same time, her improvements in triathlon training and racing has increased exponentially. She soaks up all the training in like a sponge and applies them when needed. She is consistent in her training and barely has any excuses. She is far from lazy and she doesn't blame others when she is having a bad day. I think many people need to learn from this incredible person.

What she is doing is inspirational. She does not ask for hand-outs. She does not ask for acknowledgment. She does not seek approval from anyone for her achievements. She is dedicating her 70.3 Shepparton Race to her mum (who passed away a few years ago) and her brother (who does marathons). What is your inspiration? For me, it is her.
