Quotes by Taren Gesell (?)

“if triathlons were easy, would we even be interested in doing them?”
― Taren Gesell, Triathlon Running Foundations: A Simple System for Every Triathlete to Finish the Run Feeling Strong, No Matter Their Athletic Background

0 likes

“In reviewing massive data sets of hundreds of thousands of 70.3 and IRONMAN finish times, I found that fast bike times were very strongly correlated with fast overall times, run times were just slightly less correlated with overall triathlon times, and swim times were significantly less correlated with overall triathlon finish times.”
