I love that it is constant motion in three environments with three sets of equipment.

I love that no two are ever alike and that I can go to a new city by way of a triathlon - swim in their lakes, ride on their roads and run through their communities.

I love being a face or form that flashes by the stranger/spectators that will never know who I am, but who are happy I'm doing my best.

I love elevating myself to a new level each time I race and being in control of my achievement - when so many other things in life are out of my control.

I love being my own "Olympian" but also love catching the inspiration from all other "Olympians" at the events .

I love talking with other trainees about their experiences, bikes, events as smiles break out across their faces.

I love being good to myself after a tough workout or a rugged event.

I love looking at the medal or race bib and saying " See this - you did it!"
