It's true that Multisport takes a lot of time, but it also enriches/can be enriched by my other activities which include:
1. One weekend per month in the U.S. Navy Reserves. I'm an EOD Diver dealing with water-bourne mines. I have 7 men whom I must manage/care for. They don't have nearly the same financial/personal stability with which I've been blessed so the Reserves keep me very grounded. Besides, the work we do has very little margin for error so it makes triathlon stress seem silly.
2. I coach 7 athletes (I cap myself at 10). Basically, I try to focus athletes on a holistic approach to self-improvement which recognizes that "training" has far more to do with balance than merely a list of workouts.
3. I'm married to a tremendously supportive woman who helps me reach my goals...Occasionally, I spend time with her as well;-) We also have two Old English Sheepdogs who need walks and attention.
4. Bike racing (Track, Cyclocross, Road, TT) for my competitive juices.
5. Some volunteer work for the American Cancer Society...My Team aspires to raise funds for Prostate/Colorectal Cancer-related programs in 2003.
6. Sleep/recover/eat...
