Why do you TRI?
As a coach, I am always interested in what compels my swimmers to swim. Last night, I had a new swimmer come to practice that had very little swimming experience. Most of the time, new triathletes join the team with some swimming ability that needs to only be refined. I was curious why someone that could not swim decided to become a triathlete, so I asked. She told me: " I want to compete to raise funds for my 23-year-old cousin who has leukemia. " I could not think of a more noble reason.
What is your reason for becoming a triathlete or endurance athlete?
I decided to start swimming competitively simply because I wanted to be better than my older brother at swimming.
