I got a kick out of reading Cathy’s blog from her kona trip, the highlight of course was the Jen sign. Looking at the article on http://www.xtri.com/article.asp?id=1067 yesterday about it, I realized a few things that make Tri so unique.
Look at our aging pro’s, and compare them to the picture of the Tour de France 5x winners club that went around after lance joined. The pro cyclists largely seem to have given up on any kind of active lifestyle. that’s cool.
Consider the names on the list that aren’t pro’s but are still widely known. The Hoyts, Bill Bell, Sister Buder. How cool is that! At the end of the day, it’s about more than just the pro race.
Why would we want to be doing anything else? Thanks Cathy (and Jen) for that bit of inspiration.
