I'm currently an electrical engineering student and am training for my first Ironman. I've been doing triathlon for a year now (2 HIMs, 4 Olys) and I find that most people I meet don't understand the lifestyle that comes with triathlon in general, not to mention the long distance events that I find myself enjoying the most.
I can't imagine my life without triathlon in one capacity or another, and find myself isolated from people my age since no one really understands the lifestyle. When I go to races, I don't see many people my age in general, and an even smaller amount of women my age there.
Once I graduate, I plan on relocating to Boulder area to live in one of the capitals in the sport. Beyond that, what advice do you all have for a young man trying to find someone in the sport? This sport has changed my life, and I want to be able to share it with someone special.
Thanks!
