I love triathlon. I know that’s an obvious thing for a columnist in tri’s number one publication to say, but it’s true. And you, dear reader, can be my witness that by all that I hold sacred, I absolutely cannot wait for this year’s season to start. But, it’s not for the reasons you might think…
Like all of us, I’m always keyed up for the season ahead at this time of year, but it’s more than my annual new-season enthusiasm,remember a time when I have more eagerly awaited my first race, and my mind is brimming with excitement about whether I will finally overcome my three main obstacles to triathlon greatness – qualifying for Kona, remembering all my kit for at least one race, and just once managing to swim, cycle and run well all on the same day.
