Nonetheless


Definition: despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession); "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"; "while we disliked each other, nevertheless we agreed"; "he was a stern yet fair master"; "granted that it is dangerous, all the same I still want to go"

Example:
Gamling : He leaves because there is no hope.
Theoden : He leaves because he must.
Gamling : Too few have come. We cannot defeat the armies of Mordor.
Theoden : No we cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.

The above dialogue comes from The Return of the King. It's a valuable sentiment, that even though we may not be successful, some things are worth doing, experiencing. What, after all, is the alternative to living our lives?

Thus, although I have an injury, although to date my training and condition is not perfect, I will continue to pursue the Ironman, nonetheless.
