Politics and the English Language - George Orwell (1946)
About Me
- Name: whytri
- Location: Terre Haute, IN, United States
I'm first and foremost a fan of duathlons (that's run-bike-run for those that don't know), but do at least one triathlon a year, pretty much every year. I started with duathlons mostly due to a major dislike of swimming. Now, I don't actually hate swimming, but the idea of wading in to typically dark, murky, stinky lakes, and intentionally swimming AWAY from shore really just doesn't interest me that much. Like I said before, I do race triathlons as well, and have done quite a few sprints, several 70.3s and also finished Ironman Wisconsin back in 2011, so I managed to overcome my dislikes of that lake swimming thing.
