Sub 17
Friday, February 17, 2006
There comes a time in every athlete's life where being first or last doesn't really matter. What matters is the adventure. When you set aside the age group records, the prize money, and for the lucky few, the sponsorships you are left with a very simple number -17.
17 hours to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles. The funny thing is thats just a small part of what you go through. It is a day filled with dreams, challenges and the occasional trip into the bushes. Everyone has their own reason for going the distance. Sub 17 helps celebrate and remember those reasons. (Check out there site - some pretty cool t-shirts).
