There is more to our lifestyle than the almighty "M-Dot"! I've done a lot of soul searching while training and racing, and written a book about transforming aerobic fitness into spiritual fitness. The book is called "Zendurance, A Spiritual Fitness Guide for Endurance Athletes". http://www.totalimmersion.net/store/books/zendurance.html Distance and speed are relative - quality of life is what we will view with endearing eyes as we lay on our death beds. (This from someone who will do my first triple in October. And no, I do not triple double or increase my training volume for this. I can send you links to articles I written on such matters.) Be well, live gracefully, Shane I am with you! There is more to our lifestyle than the almighty “M-Dot”! I’ve done a lot of soul searching while training and racing, and written a book about transforming aerobic fitness into spiritual fitness.

I truly believe that as much of us who go out there and complete Ironmen races can also go out there and complete these longer races. We are only limited by how we interpret the past, the present is only limited by what we think we can do, and the future has no limits. As I have been competing in triathlons over the last 30 years, I have noticed that triathletes are wonderful people who seem to appreciate the privilege of being able to do these events. The other thing I noticed is that the longer the event the greater the time commitment needed to prepare for the event and also the more a way of life for the individual athlete. For these ultra distance athletes it is almost like a religion. Some people I have met think it is the huge amount of endorphin release, but I believe there is more to it. I wish everyone could have the experiences of completing triathlons. I think the world would be a better place.
