This semester I’m taking a cycling class at BYU. We normally have workout plan for the day but today we watched the Ironman triathlon while we cycled. The Ironman is a race that takes place in Hawaii that consists of swimming, biking, and running to the finish! It is amazing how just watching something can be so inspiring! When they first started the race I could feel my heart pounding in excitement and I began to petal faster. Watching the end of the race and everyone’s reactions as they crossed the finish line helped to reinvigorate me. I pushed myself harder so that I too may feel satisfied that I had accomplished something good. I find it interesting how the media can be motivational. We can be influenced by others and receive enjoyment by watching those on TV! Even the music that was added made some of the parts more emotional. Here a great picture depicting some of the emotions that too place as people crossed the finish line!
