This is Why

You just have to go and read this post on Becoming Ironman right now.
My favourite part:

Last weekend I got on my bike at 4:45am. Clear dawn was rising on the left side of my road, and the end of a sinister thunderstorm was looming on the right side of the road. Between them, inviting me to ride into it, was a rainbow. I thought, who else sees this now? People who choose to ride a bicycle at 4:45am, they’ve lost a bit of their minds. But it’s only when you lose your mind that you see some of the best the world is.

Suddenly it all makes sense.

    :D

    I’m already starting to smooth the way for next year with Goddess. But if she has any misgivings, I’ll understand and abide. It’s such a huge chunk of time from the family.

    But the bonus is the one that I’m looking at is right in her hometown, so we can roll a family visit in with it.

    We’ll see…

    Yep - now that Race Day is almost upon me, I’ve got over The Fear (what will be, will be, etc), and am starting to do the same . . . .
