A couple of weeks I met one new office mate in San Francisco. Turns out he is a serious triathlete. He and his wife do eight a year, and he trains with two workouts five days a week to do it. A pretty serious contender.
Then I met a guy this afternoon at my Fremont office who is also a triathlete, but very down to earth. We got to talking about swimming and I mentioned that I was doing the early morning thing to get in swim miles, and he had a great attitude about balancing life and family. He realizes he has no chances of winning one of these things (as do I). So it's more about community, having fun and staying fit for him. He has friends he trains with that are serious contenders though, which I think keeps him grounded.
This is really cool. I'm glad that there are people around that I can talk to about triathlons, and training, and how to put it all in perspective.
