My name is Jason Hawker, I am a self coached triathlete who just completed Ironman Australia last weekend. I just wanted to reach out to you and share my gratitude with you both. As a busy age grouper with a young family, full time work commitments as well as trying to be there for my family I struggled to find the hours to train but managed to get it done.
My gratitude stems from the Get Fast podcast and being able to listen to your expertise and advice through numerous episodes. Although I have been listening for a while now I definitely crammed a few more of the back catalogue episodes in just before last weekend. In the lead up to the day I made sure to create a race plan, I knew my numbers and what I wanted to achieve, I knew my nutrition and hydration and felt about as prepared as anyone could going into it ...
On the day I executed my race plan and finished to within a few minutes of my goal time ... It was a great feeling when your race plan allows you to pass people who seemed so strong earlier and is definitely a great motivator. I was so pleased and satisfied with my result by being able to execute my race plan that I didn't have any feelings of "what if I did this" or "what if I did that" ...
So my gratitude comes down to the advice that you give away for free to our community through your podcast and how someone like me can achieve results on the back of it just blows me away. So thank you Gerard and Jordy and the Get Fast podcast. Of course the unwritten rule means that everyone in my tri club has heard about his podcast.
