Iron Man Florida will swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and running 26.2 miles. This is one of the toughest competitions in the world.
Many people, myself included, have trouble swimming half a mile let alone 2.4 miles. Cycling 112 miles could also matching the speed of the wheel on a stationary bike for 6 hours. I have trouble even making a start on my exercise bike!
Running 26.2 miles is not easy to find so many young and healthy, ifto stop or to stagger to the end. Jane Tomlinson recently Iron Man Florida in 15 hours and 48 minutes.
Before the race, the spokesman of the crowd said: "Jane Tomlinson, from Leeds, England Racing 4 years ago she learned that she was only seven months to live due to cancer in the finals as did triathlon ..."
Jane has a supportive husband, Mike, and three beautiful children, Suzanne, Rebecca and Steven. He had cancer for 14 years. 4 years ago wassaid they had seven months of life. Now he lived four years, since he knew that I would have died within 7 months.
Many people on the receiving end of the message they have terminal cancer, just give up and wait to die or take medicine that will speed its end. Jane, on the other side has decided to live and cope with their disease by taking a number of difficult challenges athletics.
One of his daughters, said recently in a television documentary that Jane was "never a sports person, first of allthis. He gardening and hiking and that was it. I've never seen them walk or do anything athletic. "
Jane wanted to leave their children reach a lasting memory of his mother's business: "I know that cancer is not a good thing, but I wanted to live a kind and remember that I am still alive and being here I found by searching. Enjoy what I have before me. "
Many patients give their role as wage earners and carers. Jane has her roles of mother and keptWages. It takes care of her three children and works as a radiographer. He began training as a radiographer 14 years ago after the mastectomy. It needs to be part of the money situation, sporting events competed on the road
What amazes me about her is how to live a full life and still take care in hospitals and clinics in need of treatment have managed to keep going.
It does this by planning their first treatment, because the priority and thenInstall the rest of their lives around this. Their life is so full that many people believe that it is not ill:
"Some people do not believe that I'm really bad, but I am. So much time, remember that things are pretty bad." Even walking can be painful because of tumors in the bones.
Some criticize his being on tour and in competition, rather than dealing with his family. Your answer: Some of them: "If I do these events, they are fit enough to pass the time with my family."Went with her family in Florida.
The doctor says: "Jane is an example of what can be achieved by modern anti-cancer treatments, but most of my patients do not run marathons." This is an understatement.
Jane had many obstacles in their way before they actually arrived in Florida.Her hip was sore and stopped their training for the Ironman. At times, she was undecided whether to go or not:
"I do not think I should go, but this does not mean that I will not." HisHusband Mike would not go: "It could be a paraplegic by the end of the race or even die."
She finally decided to go to Mike and supports the following reasons:
"You can not out until next year because there is next year. It 'now or never." Jane said: "If you do not give me the opportunity to try, there is always outstanding."
They took their equipment with the help of her boyfriend, Ryan, who was his partner in Iron Man, is made so thatAmong these painkillers
He arrived in Florida and decided to try to start the race, even if not going well. No patients were terminally ill cancer has sought him a man of iron first. He explained that one reason for the race: "One of the reasons for the perception of the challenge as a disease."
Mike had never been so scared as before. "I wish to hell they do not." He did not say what he thought, because they need its full support in what could betheir last great adventure.
Mike said: "There are not many frontiers left, which takes you to the world that made you say that is done, gone to die a man of iron, I never thought .."
Jane seemed to enjoy swimming and got through the bike ride. After all, she was still running after nine miles. "Absolutely amazing!" exclaimed Mike. "It 'is obviously not comfortable and you feel pain in every place she has cancer."
Steven told hisTo appease his father. He knew his mother would alright.Over 80 competitors was extracted after 13 hours, but Jane was still in the race. Mike said: "She is still active - the devil you do go for it, We love to see the finish line.."
In goal, Mike has even expressed his surprise: "I never thought in a year mllion should have done so." Ryan, Jane mate on the track, said: "Jane has just blown me away!"
Comment by Jane was not surprising:"This is the last thing I do." By the end of the race the Iron Man Jane an inspiring example of healthy and sick had been established. She and Mike had also raised £ 1,000,000 for cancer research.
All of us are terminal, but not all have understood yet. Life is too short to waste time on this planet where we live. All we need to act quickly to do what is important to us, while we still have a chance.
The life of Jane is one of those lives that can inspireTo reach us, much more than we could have dreamed possible and the best of what remained to make the life of us. We can all in our breed iron man.
