We've got something to say. In the pool, during the run, and as we climb onto our bikes, we're always talking about the latest triathlon toys, upcoming races or news about the pros. But it doesn't end when we're through with our workouts. Our conversations about triathlon follow us out of the locker room and into the cafeterias, onto our couches and inside our email inboxes.
As one of the largest and most successful collegiate triathlon teams in the nation, we're constantly training and racing together. But we also live together, study together and eat together. Some of us even sleep together.
The world isn't exactly thriving with fresh, relevant content for the enamored triathlete. Google "Triathlon Blog" and you'd think I'm lying. But start clicking those links and you'll find the true story. Most of those blogs were three-post wonders, with the most recent entry dated sometime before Ironman Louisville existed. Even if you happen to stumble upon a blog entry with a post that came after the born-on date of your Budweiser, do you really care about Johnny Firsttimer's 14-page epic about his 5-hour finish at the local sprint?
Our roster is filled with characters: The eccentric bike-freak, the guy who still can't swim after three years of triathlon, former collegiate runners; Ironman finishers and triathlon rookies; elites and middle-of-the-pack age groupers. And while we all came from different backgrounds and are on the way to even more diverse futures, for the moment our team members all share the same life-consuming passion: Triathlon.
It's this rare combination of diversity united by an unhealthy obsession that has driven us into every corner of triathlon. We have the experience and the passion to tell the stories that haven't been told yet.
