Perspective

I can’t think of anything I’ve personally done in triathlon that gives me as much pleasure as watching Oliver compete in his kid’s triathlons. He toed the line for his 2nd and 3rd triathlons this summer, and is well on his way to becoming a grizzled vet like his old man. It also really puts things in perspective, especially when I am forced to explain to a 5-year old how not everyone gets a trophy and the most important thing is to do your best and to have fun. I should remind myself of that more often…
