MOTIVATION  ------------

SPIRIT OF TRIATHLON from STRIDENATION.COM 

View image on TwitterThe Ironman World Championship is widely considered to be the pinnacle for the sport -- the Super Bowl of triathlon, if you're into that lazy comparison. It's a day for the world's best to compete for 140.6 miles in the hardest single-day race on Earth, and in some of the sport's most grueling conditions. It's a day history is made, legends are written and minds and bodies are pushed past what was previously thought capable.

But it's also a day when the spirit of triathlon in on full display -- positive thinking; making the impossible a reality; competing against rivals while at the same time, recognizing you're both in this sufferfest together.

Triathlon is growing, and that brings with it consequences both good and bad, but as long as moments like these continue to happen, the sport will be just fine.
