I was 10 years old and I remember watching this with my dad and mom the first time it was aired. In some weird yet prophetic way I remember wondering aloud "I wonder if I could do that..." I can say 25 years later that yes I can do that-I have and I will again. The beauty is in the training, the glory is in fighting to enjoy the journey-the changes that occur as the result of tri are amazing.

Some of the changes are physical but many more are found in the personal changes and realization that occurs when challenging yourself. I never thought when I started tri'ing that I would go 140.6(well deep down I did) but just getting through my first 500 yard swim was a battle-getting through the first raced stunk-but it is worth it! When I was pushing 275lbs's trying to tri saved my life-come and join me!
