I started endurance racing at the sprint triathlon distance in August of 2008. If I was hooked to endurance sports before the race, I was addicted after. There is nothing like it. Thousands of people. All shapes. All sizes. All wanting to prove something, whether it be to themselves or to someone. Some wanting to just finish, others wanting to set a PR, and some wanting to take the top step of the podium.
But no matter who you are, speed makes legends.
Every time I race, I will race so fiercely my legs cry, and when I can’t do that anymore, that’s when I will know it’s time for myself to shut up and leave.
