Norseman triathlon

I will do another one.

I literally just entered the Norseman.

Have you seen that? Yes, I have entered as well.

So has every other content

Yeah, for sure, for sure.

Which one are you thinking? Have you got some plans? I

think the dream for me to get back into triathlon would be do a 70.3, do a full and somehow get, wiggle my way into the Norseman.

But I mean, that's wishful thinking.

But each, when you, when you come back, you then need to make the decision around, okay, do I want to get faster? Probably, yes.

Do I want to qualify for a world championships? Do I want to pick a really hard course and go after that goal? And actually like turning up and doing a Norseman, for example, that's an extreme triathlon in every sense of the word, is the challenge that I want to go after this year, rather than getting faster and qualifying for an Ironman World Championship.

So there's, there's so many dimensions to it that once you've, once you've done one, once you've shown yourself that you're capable of doing an Ironman, your goals could go any which way, and all of them are just as valid as any other.

And in my mind, always finishing should be one of them.

But like how, how do you decide what it is that you want to do? How it, how, how is it that you decide what you want to achieve? And for me, you have to workshop them.

So you need to sit down and go like, I...

What, what happens if next year I decide I want to do Norseman? How am I gonna feel waking up tomorrow morning? How am I gonna feel waking up in three months' time? How am I gonna feel waking up a month out of the race if I've decided that Norseman is the thing that I wanna do? And then you go, "Okay, so that's that one.

That is how I feel.

And, uh, yeah, day by day, checkpoint by checkpoint, that's it.

[instrumental music plays] After the Marathon des Sables, Mohamed went back to training for the triathlon, competing in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii and the Norseman Extreme Triathlon in Norway in 2014.

Then, when the Olympic Committee announced that triathlon would officially be a Paralympic sport in the 2016 Olympics, Mohamed knew he wanted to participate.

He spent the next couple of years training for this pursuit and ended up taking home bronze in the 2016 Paralympics in Rio.
