Dan Golding
“The aim of the taper is to minimise accumulated fatigue and fill up the fuel stores to arrive at the start line fresh.”
Dan Golding, Triathlon: Winning at 70.3: How To Dominate The Middle Distance

Matt Fitzgerald
“The magnitude of the satisfaction that a triathlete experiences upon crossing a finish line is directly proportional to the amount of suffering he has overcome to to get there. This reward knows no ability. Even the slowest of the slow can push themselves beyond existing limits and finish with tremendous satisfaction. But winning often demands and inspires the greatest suffering and thus confers the greatest sense of pride. Often, because of the nature of competition, it is precisely he who has the most guts who is the fastest and experiences the most intense fulfillment at the finish line.

Theoretically, then, the most deeply satisfying experience a triathlete could have in the sport (and among the best in life) would occur at the finish line of a race in which he has overcome as much suffering as he could possibly ever endure, and knows it.”
Matt Fitzgerald, Iron War: Dave Scott, Mark Allen, & the Greatest Race Ever Run
