Me - the everyman athlete

I am the guy that doesn't care what place you get in an event. I am the guy that is never in the front of the race. I am the guy, in the back (or middle if I am lucky) of the pack, encouraging the rest of us mortals to keep going until we finish. Let the pros and uber athletes fight for a shiny piece of metal, I will run beside you, encourage you, and cheer for you when we ALL cross the finish line.

To steal from Theodore Roosevelt:

" It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat"

What it takes to get me to the finish line.
When equipement matters.
Not just for triathlons.
