This is just a tribute to all of those who are talented enough to compete in a triathlon. I have a friend who is out there right now and I am proud of his efforts. If you are not sure what a triathlon is, it is three continuous sequential endurance events; swimming, cycling, and running. The goal is to make the fastest overall course completion time, including time transitions.

To many participants in marathons and other races, it is more important to have gone the course than the time it took to do it. It takes hard work and determination to train and often the reward is in the means to an end. If we could all approach our daily lives in the same way, perhaps we would enjoy the trip even more than the destination.
