All In

It started with a simple question from a coworker. “Do you think I need to get a new bike?” Scott was referring to his mountain bike in the context of wanting to do a triathlon. I don’t claim to know everything there is to know about such subjects, but I try to help a friend out when I can. He knew I had done some triathlons, so naturally I was a quick reference. I told him he didn’t necessarily need a new bike, and he was quick to clarify he wanted to do an Ironman. I’m not sure if I stuttered or just assumed a deer-in-headlights look, but I was definitely taken aback. That’s no small commitment – it’s an Ironman!
