Triathlon is a sport of transitions - From the first spark of curiosity to the defining moments of success and achievement.
Whether your journey leads to standing atop the podium, participating for the joy of the sport, or representing your country in age-group racing, every athlete shares one thing: a transition from initial interest to achieving their goals.
We proudly present three short films that map this journey—from inquisition, to participation, to success in the world of triathlon.
Beginning with witnessing the very best racing on home soil, we follow one individual's path to representing his country, and ultimately, winning the greatest prize in sport.
