Margot Bingham Instagram – A year ago, I faced a darkness I never thought I’d escape. It knocked every other hardship, loss, heartbreak out the water. I took that experience, and pushed my body and mind into a space where I never saw myself being a part of. When I thought of runners, I questioned if I had the endurance. When I thought of swimmers, I never imagined I could be that skilled. And when I thought of cyclists-I honestly didn’t know many black people personally in that space. So I never saw myself in it.
Now, I have officially done my first #Ironman. I picked the 2nd hardest course in the world to be my first race. To ALL of you who have been a part of this journey with me, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, I needed your words, affirmations and support. I unfortunately did not make the cut off time to finish the race, but I will be back next year to cross that finish line!! I worked my ass off for this moment. And what I never considered was the time I put in the work, was my actual marathon. I am forever a work in progress. I thank gd that I chose myself, that I imagined a possibility of a stronger me, instead of choosing to shrink and sink. Our minds can be our strongest ally. They can also be our worst destruction. Know that YOU are not alone. You never know your limit until you create it🌟
A BIG thank you to @desoto_sport for making me look as strong and sexy as I felt inside during my race day in @ironman_france ! …let’s keep going 🙏🏽
Love to you all, xo❤️
