Work-life balance. From farm to play and sports. This week was catching up from farm visits, evaluating feed inventories, adjusting livestock ration, discussing farm plans for the next fiscal year, and today bound for Italy for the Ironman race in Emilia Romagna near the Adriatic Sea.
The body seems exhausted but I think it has good benefits for future health. I made sure I provided it with good nutrition, adequate rest and sleep and family communication/socialization. Hopefully I can still do it in the next 10 years. The training journey is what excites me. Although I have issues in some parts of the body that are not cooperating but I’ll find ways to overcome it and finish the race.
Thanks to my wife who supported me in many ways, my son/daughter-in law, coach, colleagues and friends who in many ways helped my training a success. Next Saturday, I’ll enjoy the race course and see the beauty of the country.
