Lottery Winner to Kona Finisher

By Andi Jones

I won a coveted lottery entry to the Ironman World Championships and it became an experience of my lifetime. My less common perspective of a humble, lottery winner is unique and proves that seemingly impossible dreams can come true. I had to convince myself, a mostly regular person who had finished only two triathlons, that I was capable of sharing the course with the most incredibly toned triathletes in the world.I wrote this book to inspire you to believe in your dreams and put yourself in a position to enjoy them come true. When we humble ourselves enough, opportunities arise and nurture our weaknesses into strengths. Then, as we struggle to achieve our dreams, it is truly the journey, rather than the destination, that changes our lives forever."During my training I had prepared for an imaginary place, which became real. The bike course I had seen on television actually existed, with white coral spelling names and messages to athletes along endless black lava. The course had a palpable sanctity to it. Ironman Hawaii was not just about the physical challenge; it was about digging deep within oneself to discover what we are all about. The price is courage, determination and humility. The reward is having limits removed from our dreams."
