One of my best friends Jess in glorious San Diego - in Jan!
Best friends wait while licking the chocolate off wrapper!
One of the best things about our sport is the friends you make. These friends are some of the closest you’ll ever make and I have a theory about why that is…
When you’re competing or training hard with people, you all suffer together so it gives you a common bond. But more than that because when you are suffering and in pain, you become very vulnerable – you let down your guard and show your true colors as a person…warts and all. The friends I have made through triathlon are my closest – they’ve accepted me at my worse and I’ve accepted them. No barriers, no facade, no pretense…it’s a level playing field out there when you hurt together no matter who you are or who you think you are.
