Ein nettes Zitat über den Triathleten an und für sich aus einem Slowtwitch-Artikel über Chris Lieto und seine BASE Nahrungsergänzungsmittel:
Triathlon seems to attract a certain sort of athlete. Or perhaps it just brings out a certain trait in the athletes it attracts. Either way, triathlon seems unique in the number of athletes who are willing to experiment on their bodies and their equipment in search of improved performance. The number of Tour de France pro cyclists who would take a hacksaw to their bike is quite small, yet I can think of countless bikes I’ve seen in transition areas with low race numbers that have been hacked and cobbled in search of improved fit, aerodynamics, comfort, or ergonomics.
