The Social Distance Athlete

I wanted to share with you a site one of my friends started for the endurance athlete in this era of Covid19 Social Distancing, called The Social Distance Athlete. Over the next few weeks there will be posts with tips and support for the endurance athlete during this time. I wrote an article for them which I will share an excerpt...

Congratulations, you have been forced into home quarantine! Isolated from the outside world. Your gym is now shut and you have gone near mad in the first 48 hours.
But wait…aren’t you a triathlete? Didn’t you take up a sport which requires you to spend endless hours on the bike solo? How many conversations have you had with your friends with your head in the water as you swim lap upon lap staring at the black line in the bottom of the pool? How many mornings have you gotten up before the rest of the world to get in your miles of that morning run? Just to make my point clear; You chose a sport where you get penalized for spending too much time along the side of another rider! You are a Triathlete!


You have been training for this social distancing/isolation/quarantine all along!...
