Eight athletes. Every distance, every level, every reason for joining our sport. SLS3 digs into the motivations and challenges behind what makes a triathlete.
Is it the 5am alarm? Overcoming nerves on the start line? The discipline to train when nobody's watching? (Who are we kidding - that's what Strava is for) Or the comeback after a tough race?
To find out, we brought together eight athletes from across the sport - from first timers to international age-group champions. What we found was that it isn't a podium or a personal best that defines a triathlete - it's a shared mindset of grit, curiosity and commitment that keeps them coming back to the start line.
Each athlete tells their story below. Read them in any order.
