ABOUT ME
- Sean in NY
- I love swim/bike/run training and I love to eat really unhealthy things. Oh, and I also love equilibrium. Feel free to follow along as I hope to eventually make the transition of learning mainly through failure towards learning from mild success.
About This Blog
In September of 2009 I completed my first triathlon. This blog was started to keep track of all the things I learned from that day forward so that I can try harder, work harder and train smarter in all aspects of swim/bike/run... but never taking it (or myself) too seriously along the way.
You don't seem to find many blogs that follow the lesser athlete through their early racing experiences, so maybe this can eventually be something that a few people out there stumble upon and can relate to, while the more experienced athletes could perhaps offer some advice, guidance or just poke fun at me for some of the ridiculous things I am sure to do.

A GOOD QUOTE
"It is not the critic who counts nor the man who points out how the strong man tumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have
done better, the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and
spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst if
he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither
victory nor defeat!" -Theodore Roosevelt
