How did this all begin...

The beginning... 

It began with Scrubs... the American TV show of the naughties. In one episode J.D. attempted to complete a list of things he wanted to do before he was 30. The episide finished with him "tri-ing" to do a triathlon and I thought, lets do one of those before I am 30. Seed planted. 

Fast forward a decade or more and I missed 30 thanks to a pretty serious knee injury and surgery. Life got in the way, team sports were my joy and living and working in 2 different continents, marrying, starting a family... the usual. 

Multiple knee/ACL based injuries called a halt to my competitive team sport and left a big gap in my life, particularly in managing my health and wellbeing. I have always needed exercise and a healthy outlet for my competitive drive. So why not try to tri before 40... 

Thanks Scrubs and J.D. for this ridiculous idea and the new journey into my 40s.
