Why Triathlon?                                                                               Well now that's the $24 question.                                                                                   Why? Well I think why not? I had a friend ask me a few years ago is I wanted to do a Triathlon with him and the good folks at Team in Training. A Triathlon was on the bucket list so I signed up with the Team. At the first info meeting for the Team, there was a coach there that said don't sign up for something you know you can do but sign up for something you think will be hard, so I signed up for the Half-Ironman in Galveston, and yes it was hard. After that first half I was hooked by the sport. I always feel privileged to be one of the lucky few that gets to participate in this sport,and that thought keeps me motivated. As far as the Ironman goes I did my first in November of 08 and  the feeling of crossing the finish line is the best. All the months of prep, all the blood, sweat and tears, and then there you are at the end, legs burning, head swimming, heart pounding, DONE.......nothing better. So, why? Becaused its hard, and there are very few that get to. Because I can, and I want to be able to ask my kids "If I can do this, what can you do?"                                                            (Scott Istas, Frisco, Tx)
