I was thinking today why I love triathlon.  What the heck is it in me that says, “triathlon is fun!"?

I love knowing my body is in shape and pushing its limits.

I love pushing myself on the intricacies’ of my stride and stroke during the off-season.

I love the feeling of exiting the swim and entering a transition area completely full of bikes.

I love how fast I can fly up a hill with effort and how swiftly I can take descent with minimal effort.

I love passing people on the run, the bike and the swim.

I love the feeling at the end of a race where you gave it 150% but you would repeat it in an hour because it was that amazing.  It really was.  You have no idea.

I think the thing I love most about triathlon is that it’s a journey to go from competent to excellent.  I’m between the two and that’s what keeps me going.

That, and my killer playlist on my ipod (I’ll post that later).

G’night!
