My name is -, 22, and I am currently pursuing a -. Through my parent’s promptings, I picked up swimming from a very young age and have been training till now. Being at the prime of my life now, I decided to try out other sports. However, I was very reluctant to renounce swimming-thinking about all the hard work and sacrifice I put in all those years-so I decided on venturing into triathlon. I thank my parents for the times they dragged my young and lazy self to swimming lessons as all those years have greatly helped my transition to triathlon. Picking this sport up is a highlight of my amateur sporting career.The challenge it constantly provides me is exhilarating and addictive. The sense of achievement upon each completion is beyond description. The irony triathlon has brought to my life is that when I am in it, when I am desperately gasping for breath, my body is aching terribly from the lactic acid build up and I am struggling to find whatever is left in me for an extra boost, I feel the most alive. The liberation and empowerment I feel-from being able to contain and push through my pain-is what keeps me going. I hope to continue training and pushing myself, redefining my limits and to see where triathlon can take me to. I believe in living life to the fullest, not compromising on the life one is meant to live, and being the best that I can be in every endeavour I embark on.
