Race Fans: My Genesis and Evolution as a Triathlete

About the Book

Race Fans: My Genesis and Evolution as a Triathlete takes you along on a journey of triumph, trials, and disappointments. You enter each race swimming, biking, and running through a decade of triathlon and multi-sport endeavors. The spirit of competing as an age-group triathlete comes to life by providing an experience as close as one can get without actually putting on goggles, a helmet, or running shoes.

Most spectators of triathlon and endurance sports only see an event's start and finish. In the case of triathlon, onlookers witness their favorite athlete's transitions, but are left with their imaginations to what is happening out on the course. Prepare to come into the know when you are put into each race.

Discovering triathlon has never been so easy. The style and use of language has appeal to tri-geeks and those not involved in the sport. Race Fans: My Genesis and Evolution as a Triathlete warms the reader up, gains momentum, and finishes strong like a well run race.
