Elena gik en sikker død i møde – men trodsede alle odds og chokerede omverdenen

En gang i mellem er der brug for en rigtig stor alarmklokke, før man indser faktum og tager sagen i egen hånd. 

Spørg bare Elena Goodall. Da hun var størst, vejede den australske kvinde 184 kilo, hun spiste konstant og meget og til sidst nåede situationen et punkt, hvor hun hverken kunne binde sine egne sko eller rejse sig selv, hvis hun sad ned. 

Det var først, da lægerne forklarede hende, at hendes liv var i stor fare, at Elena bestemte sig for at reagere – og snart begyndte hun den mest utrolige rejse. 

Det var et hårdt slag. Hvis Elena fortsatte samme dårlige levestil, ville hun ikke leve længe nok til at fylde 40 år.  

Hun var nødt til at ændre sit liv radikalt – og hun var nødt til at gøre det fluks.  

Men i hvilket omfang det skulle blive, var kun noget Elena vidste. 

Først og fremmeste begyndte hun at ændre sin kost og spise lidt sundere.  

Samtidigt vidste Elena, at det ville blive en utrolig hård rejse med meget modvind og mange forhindringer. 

Så for at holde motivationen oppe bestemte hun sig for at sætte et mål: at kunne gennemføre et triathlon.

På den måde kunne hun tage den store foranding alvorligt. 

Foruden at løbe begyndte hun også at svømme…

… og hun trænede også den tredje del af et triatlon, cykling. Og hun nægtede at give op!

– Havde mit første spinningslektion nogensinde, det gør ondt over alt, men jeg kommer til at gøre det igen, skrev hun blandt andet på sin Instagram.

Stille, men roligt kunne Elena se både sin krop og sine fremtidsudsigter ændre sig. 

Et år senere havde hun opnået noget helt utroligt!

Målsætningen om at klare et triathlon klarede hun imponerende,  da hun desuden gennemførte en halv ironman-konkurrence, men det var ikke alt. 

Elena meldte sig til sidst også til konkurrencen Ironman Cairns, som består af 3,8 km svømning, 180 kilometer cykling og 42,195 kilometer løb. Det skal hun i december, men mon ikke hun også klarer det med bravour!

 

As I pack to head home I reflect on the week I have had and I couldn’t be prouder of myself I finished my first ironman 70.3 and I have set a new goal of my first full ironman in busso in December 2017 I want to finish this year with a BANG not only will I turn 30 in December but I WILL become an ironman and I will wear that title with pride the work it is going to take in the lead up to this event is going to be a challenge but if there is one thing I have learned about myself in the past year is I’m more than up for the challenge so coach @emcj88 @tzeromultisport BRING IT ON let’s do this #ellesroadtobusso #determination #dedication @ironmanasiapac #cairnsqueenslandaustralia #cairnsqueensland #cairns #tropicalnorthqueensland #thisisqueensland #cairnspost #cairnsim #cairnsim703 #cairnsim2017 #ironmanaustralia #triathlete #triathlontraining #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #vsgcommunity #vsg #inspo #instafitness #instafit @tzeromultisport @catfishdesigns @livcycling @livcycling_aus #livcycling #livcycling_aus #soproud #redbull #ellesroadtobusso #busseltonironman #bussoim

Med en tydelig målsætning og en vilje af stål gik Elena fra en sikker død til at klare en ironmankonkurrence. 

Men bedst af alt, så fik hun det meget bedre med sig selv!

Håbet er det sidste som forlader mennesker – det viser Elenas rejse tydeligt, og den er en inspiration for os alle. Tøv ikke med at dele denne historie med dine venner!
