By the time you add up all the blogs, Twitter feeds, Facebook posts, YouTube videos and other miscellaneous consumer-generated-content out there…well, I’m not sure you even could or should bother trying. Let’s just say it’s a LOT.
I’ve come to realize I have no special gift for humor, no specialized knowledge of triathlon training, no unique perspective into the soul of mankind. But what I do have, whether unique or not, is a never-ending stream of consciousness conversation with myself during which I debate, ponder and sometimes agonize over, the stuff of life. Big and small. Call it an active imagination for the mundane and everyday.
Which brings me to my point (and I do have one). I’m going to start laying out what goes on in my life, and in my head, in all its ugly, honest glory (gory?). If for no other reason than so I can go back and have a look from time to time and see what’s going on, maybe laugh, probably grimace and hopefully learn and improve (insert your own self-awareness/improvement/image/actualization joke here).
Those are the real “Adventures of Triathpete.” The everyday challenges, trivial annoyances, and unexpected joys of a middle-aged, back-of-the-pack athlete, husband, father of three girls.
That’s what’s in my head today. Until next time.
