Why triathlon?

"My favorite thing about triathlon is actually the lifestyle it provides. The best part is the fitness and likeminded people in the triathlon community you gain from being a triathlete. It shapes your day to day routine and way of thinking in the best most positive ways! It's a fantastic way to live your life! Training for triathlon is an energetic, vibrant, challenging, and healthful way of being."
