Triathlon is a great sport to hide in since it consists of three disciplines meshed into one.  If you were a great swimmer, cyclist or runner you would focus on your sport and do great.  If you are none of the above, than you can practice this sport where no one is an expert at anything except endurance and determination.

I totally hide behind triathlon. I struggle in cycling and in running, yet put them together with swimming and somehow it’s a combination I can commit to.    I LOVE endurance, I don’t just like it.  I grew up in Brazil where it is very hot, and I would love doing sports in the brutal midday sun.  I sweat more than most and I feel like a champion fighter when I am done with a workout.  So these two things combined – my relative lack of talent and my love of heat exhaustion – makes me a perfect triathlon addict.
