Despite my recent Ozempic nightmare and near suicide (see my article “My Ozempic Nightmare“) I’ve decided to go ahead with my Ironman Ottawa attempt this August at age 70.
I don’t want to live with the regret of not trying although physically I still have a long way to go. I lost a lot of muscle while on the drug and my energy levels are still low but I need to give it a shot as I consider it unfinished business.
To make my Ironman attempt even more special I’m dedicating the race to our own Jonathan Clements. A former marathoner and current biker I thought he would be amused following my progress during the race.
Jonathan is a real Ironman if you ask me.
Running is a great antidepressant. Enjoy as long as physically able
Go for it!!
That’s the plan!
Best of luck! When I was in my 40’s I ran sprint triathlons. Never even considered a full IronMan. I like the dedication – both yours and the idea of including Jonathan in your motivation.
I think having JC on my shoulder will help get me through the rough patches. It’s not about me it’s about us!
