When I started triathlon, one of the appeals was that I could all the training alone without being dependent upon someone else to complete my workouts (aside from lifeguards who sometimes tend to not show up at the pool, but this was a problem that did not occur to me when I began). I figured I would meet new people, but I didn’t realize how much of a tribe — a real family of friends — I would create. With gratitude for all those who have entered my life through endurance sports:
