Why I Tri!!

Why I TRI!

A couple days ago I entered a contest to win a BlueSeventy Triathlon bag from Triathlete Magazine.  All I had to do was come up with a Haiku of why I do Triathlons.  So after quick thoughts, I posted this as my answer:

Reach Down Deep Into Your Soul.
Find Your Pride Inside.
and Discover Who You Are.

After posting it I thought that was pretty good for only spending about 5 minutes on it.  As the day wore on I kept thinking about the haiku and wondered if I was going to win the cool bag or not.  Well I didn't win the cool bag but I think I did come up with the main reason I TRI.
I love the journey of a triathlon race, the constant chess match you play with yourself mentally and physically in order to succeed, the condition changes on the course and how you deal with them, and the general ups and downs you have over the course of the race and how I am going to handle it. 
So its simple I TRI because I love the challenge: putting forth every once of energy I have, digging as deep as I can possibly go, and ultimately I will be staring at myself with a sense of accomplishment and prove to myself that I am strong, I am capable to push further and harder than I thought possible!!
