It's a first-person memoir that any triathlete can relate to and will definitely feel that they are reading about their own challenges, successes, and memories of racing no matter where their events took place. It will probably motivate you to continue creating your own storyline of a triathlete's life. Morris chose triathloning as a segment in his life for continual learning. The book examines how you can define journeys that convert your dreams into reality. Examples include how to apply cross-functional skills in personal, professional, and athletic endeavors. Various trips will highlight how to recognize more similarities than differences in new cultures and geographical locations. Discover how calculated risk choices stimulate actions while passive mindsets of wants, wishes, and hopes reduce the odds of reaching goals. Consider how race challenges substantiate why to be persistent and resilient in overcoming unwelcomed challenges. Uncover how time management hacks can mitigate time poverty. Recall how coaching in your life from pre-teens to current continues to deliver benefits and validate that different situations require different tactics. Finally, explore how to excel in your sport’s life with answers to some not so frequently asked questions. The mashup of exciting race stories in Triing reveal unexpected discoveries, unwelcomed challenges, and unabated camaraderie in the competitive global tri community. All of these are relatable to events in your life. Here's what some people said about stories in the book: • "I thoroughly enjoyed Triing! Every chapter was very entertaining.
