Growing up I would have voted myself most unlikely to ever finish a triathlon. Not because I wasn’t athletic, but because I couldn’t swim or ride a bike. I suppose if my family were asked if that is true, there would be a bit of a debate. My sister would loudly proclaim that I could do neither. My dad would do his best to make it sound like I could ride a bike without definitively saying that I could ride a bike, and talk about how he was worried about my chances of survival in water. And my mom would likely make a joke about doggie paddling or tricycles. But I can now proudly say that after spending a month on Holbox Island, I can ride a bike and swim. I am now a part of the exclusive dual threat club, composed of people ages three and up from all over the world.
The inspiration was largely intrinsic, but this video also played a part in my motivation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaIvk1cSyG8
