Mitch,
I am living and working in Singapore. I am employed in Interbank Treasury, specializing in G7 forward interest rates. Having been involved in this hyper-aggressive environment since I was 24, I nevertheless still find it challenging, although my passion has diminished. Burnout perhaps.
In 2000, I decided to slow down the nightlife and get my life in order. Since then I have met and recently married my lovely wife, who incidentally is Singaporean. Additionally, I decided that I was bored with lifting weights in the gym and staring in the mirror, and promptly decided to become a triathlete. Although being unable to swim properly, I self-coached, and completed my first OD a year later. Since then, I have completed numerous triathlons, half-IM's and two IM's, including Hawaii last October ( 12.30.46 ).
I respect your viewpoint and writing on the various subjects you have written about in Triathlete Magazine, so here I am with your book. Having just completed Desaru Long Distance ( HIM ), my training load will be subsiding now for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be reading your book on the beach!
Sincerely,
Terry Walsh
