At 18 years old I realised that running like mad was no longer enough, I also needed to find a focus for my mind.  I wanted to tell others about sport.  Classical studies, an arts degree followed by a masters in journalism were my academic steps; working for sector magazines, dailies, local tv and publishing.  In the meantime I made it to 34 years old and I abandoned the athletic track in favour of the excitement of triathlon. “The sport of the future”, as I call it.  One of the very few sports that combine sacrifice, great effort, the delusion of omnipotence and a strong propensity to aesthetic harmony.

Fascinating and disarming, as only paradoxes can be.
