I recently had the pleasure of interviewing all the U.S. triathletes who will be competing in the London Games. It was probably one of the best interviewing experiences I’ve had to date in my journalism career! All five athletes are so unique and have such different stories of how they got to where they are now. I learned a lot in talking with them on not only how to be a stronger athlete mentally speaking, but how to be a better all-around person. These folks are a special breed. Take Manny Huerta for example. Our interview took place while he was at baggage claim in an airport. I knew his baggage must have arrived, but he continued to talk with me for more than an hour. He is such a gracious dude and his story is incredible!
Anyways, all of the profiles I wrote are now available for you to read for free online on Triathlete Magazine’s website, www.triathlete.com! Meet your U.S. Triathlon Team by clicking each athlete’s name below! Thanks for reading…
