My company wants to share my story to their page in English. so there is the English version, hope you can find some inspiration.
Back in 2012, I had a long break without exercise. The most exciting thing I could ever share with my friends was simply a dream on my bucket list - to complete in a once-in-a-lifetime marathon. Back then, all my friends constantly told me to lose weight but I just didn't find the urgency to do so until I saw the photo of me in sunglasses - I could not even recognize myself! I asked myself: is this what I want for the rest of my life and is this the example I want to set for my kids?
From that point on, I started running again. Nine months later, I finally finished my first marathon in Macau. Even though my body was cramping all over, a voice exclaimed inside of me: "I am finally back on track!"
A month later, I was on a vacation in Japan with my wife. In a coffee shop, I saw a poster… and I made a decision which eventually changed my life: I registered for the Hokkaido Ironman Distance Triathlon race! (3.8Km Swim + 180km Cycling + 42km Running) I only had seven months to prepare!
I’ve never had any road-cycling experience, but along the way, I was lucky to have met a team of triathlon gurus who helped me with some basic cycling skills. As for swimming, I hired a swimming coach to point out the issues with my techniques. As a full-time fitness instructor and a father of two, it was very difficult to set aside an extra 12-18 hours a week for training. During this period, I have come to understand the quote: "Nobody is ever too busy. If they care, they will make time."
I finally completed Ironman Japan in Aug 2014 and Ironman Taiwan in Apr 2015. During the practice, I got held up by my ankle injury from high-school basketball. I realized that I must get it sorted out if I still want to train for Ironman, so I went for an operation in Aug 2015. During the recovery, since I could still train my upper-body, an idea suddenly sprung up my mind: why not postpone my Ironman training for a year and try out a bodybuilding competition!?
They are completely opposite fields: one is cardiovascular endurance training while the other is muscle strengthening and hypertrophy training. There are still four more months to go before the contest – let’s see how far I can get!
