Happy Birthday to me


Happy Birthday to me!

I'm 39 today.


Anyone reading this will, I am sure, jump the the conclusion that GFW is part of a mid life crises. They might be right.

I have always wanted to do a big, physical/mental challenge. Something where the buck stops with me. Truth be told I hope one day to complete something like an Iron Man Triathlon, which makes Gael Force West look like a walk in the park.

There are lots of reasons people do these events for me it was about getting back a bit of control. The down turn in the economy has been hanging over all our heads and I found that I felt I had no control anymore. Then the idea of Gael Force West came along, a chance to feel you had some control again over your life, your destiny again.

When it comes to big challenges in life you just need a big enough WHY and the HOW will sort itself out. If that why is a mid life crises or something else, who honestly care. Take inspiration from where ever it comes.

Wait till you see what I have planned for my 40th :)
