#triathlongear

I participated in my first triathlon about 8 years ago, with Team In Training/TNT/LLS, to raise money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. 

IT WAS THE BEST, AND HARDEST, EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE, HANDS DOWN, BY FAR.

Not only had I always wanted to try to compete in, or should I say COMPLETE a triathlon... I knew that if I was to ever attempt to achieve this life-long goal - I would ultimately need some serious guidance, training, motivation and a team behind me to ever be able to do so. 

Team In Training provided this and so, so much more!!! I received coaching, training, a great cause to raise money for and an entire team surrounding me. I became one of that team - amongst so many others - a team that needed us all to be an integral part of - to help each other towards achieving our goals while - as a team- we could conquer our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual tests along the way.

I DRANK THE TRI-KOOL-AID. 

I was hooked from the first waft, the first sip, the first Tri-High!!!

Everything triathlons... triathlon training, triathlon mindset, tri-gear, tri-teams, tri-techniques... ultimately everything and anything TRI-related. I am an ever-so-familiar story, but I went deep. No 12-Step Program in this world can help... Truly, I AM, an exceptional case!!! 

Triathlon gear was in, and of itself, a whole new challenge. 

Navigating through the wild, wild world of tri-gear is a fantastic voyage, a truly amazing journey, but it can also be overwhelming and daunting simultaneously to say the least!! 

Finding the right gear for YOU, individually, and US, as whole, is half the battle towards our ultimate success! We are all so uniquely, beautifully different and most of us don’t have the budget to try/buy everything we gravitate towards. 

I hope that through posts & shares on my Tumblr, I can shed some light on all things gear, equipment, supplements, training techniques, diet, motivation, cross training, training partners, etc. that has worked for me and others in our community. 

I hope that I can help streamline and guide you through some of the best of the best and help you find what works bests for you. Ultimately, I owe it to myself and to you and want to help my fellow kindred tri-souls & YOU be the best triathlete you have ever dreamed of being!!
