A black belt, was a white belt that never gave up. We all start life as a white belt. I'm going for the black belt.

You know how I always say the next time you see me with in this picture I will have done an Ironman,beat cancer, cycled around the world, climbed the steepest street ,swam Alcatraz etc simple shit like that. I always did it right! Well the next time you see me holding up an award ...preferably this Academy Award it will be not so much because of me, but because of the amazingy talented group of film people, the producers, director ,cinematographers etc working so hard on creating the documentary. The Jaws of Life.  Thank you so much everyone that voted for my documentary. It will inspire others that hardships in your life....even after cancer..... sometimes what one thinks is impossible really is Pospisil. Awards announced September 2018 . Film will air March 2019 and a Television series of seven episodes shortly after.  Well told you my next Ironman post would only be if I finished ! I did it was just so tough and hot but I finished. The man at the finish said "Rudy you are an Ironman" and even gave me a medal.I was pretty happy. I went home and had a cold bath. Now to plan the swim to Vancouver Island. Also please vout for my movie to August 2. Voting starts July 30 at 9 Am and you can vote 5 times. Thank you so much. Rudy.https://www.storyhive.com/project/show/id/3963 .  I got an official Ironman tshirt and hat and I haven't even raced yet lol. I don't deserve to wear it nobody does until you finish. So the next picture you see of me wearing it will be crossing the finish line, like I promised you on my global cycle and Alcatraz swim. As you know I never break a promise....EVER !!!  Only 7 more sunsets to Ironman, 70 sleeps to Vancouver Island Swim, 120 to Kilimanjaro climb and 300 to Everest.
Hello Prince George BC someone up there is number 1 follower on web hits. Five years ago me and Eric my son crossed Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland and the never ending climb up St Gotthards Passed to Italy. He told me before he left....Dad if anything ever happens to you I will finish your journey. Now he gets married at the beach where I watched the meteor showes a year ago. I have some great stories to tell. I am so proud to be MC at the wedding. So proud of Eric he is such an honest, good honorable man. The world needs more Eric's.
It makes me feel old but I don't care. Born right here at home in Vancouver yesterday it was amazing. She stole my heart and made me cry.....Gramps. In three weeks I will attempt a full Ironman.Its 2.4 mile (3.86 km) open water swim, 112 mile(180 km) bike, 26.2 mile(42.20 km)run. Dehydration , cramping and bonking from no food stores left are the biggest obstacles not just the marathon distances of each sport. The average male competitor will require 11,000 calories of fuel and about 25 litres of water and electrolytes. As far as food thats 110 Clif Shots; or 45 PowerBars; or 88 bananas. My goal is to raise $10,000 for Police/Firefighters PTSD http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/canada/course.aspx#axzz5KQTdedZp http://www.vancouverfirefighters.ca/FireFit_for_PTSD/ A girl from San Francisco thats a long distance swimmer saw my posts. She wrote asked me to join her on a swim from the Mainland to Vancouver Island in September. She said only 3 women had ever done it and wants a team mate and saw I was training for a full Ironman.. So well I just did a Forrest Gump and said...sure! Besides Ferry's are real expensive now and there is a great Fish n Chips place in Nanaimo. Its roughly 32 km from Sechelt to Nanaimo. Tides/daylight hours historical inds early September are perfect it should take roughly 13 hours at our pace. I never take on a challenge that I dont think I can't do............ So its a GO. |
