The Triathlete's Tao Te Ching: An Endurance Athlete's Interpretation of Lao-Tzu's Ancient Text

Over the past four decades triathlon has evolved from athletic oddity into the fastest-growing participation sport in the world. Each year millions of athletes from around the globe toe the line to test themselves in the swim-bike-run events. The Triathlete’s Tao Te Ching suggests a way for racers — from first-time triathletes to experienced veterans — to get the most from themselves and this great sport. Adapted from the 2500-year-old text by Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu, the Triathlete’s Tao contemplates the nature of racing and achievement, and encourages racers to follow their own path as endurance athletes in order to find the greatest satisfaction from their efforts.
