Something you may not know about me is that I used to do triathlon. I started back around 2005 with a try-a-tri, gradually built up my distances to sprint and Olympic, and completed a 70.3 (Half Ironman) in Benton Harbor, Michigan, in 2009. Once that was off my bucket list, I went on to complete the 200-kilometer Toronto to Niagara Falls Ride to Conquer Cancer in 2010. I sold my bike a year later, ready for the next adventure.
This short story was loosely inspired by a training camp I took in Collingwood in the early days, minus the dead body, of course. It’s part of my Live Free or Tri collection, and has been reprinted by Kings River Life Magazine with my permission. I hope you enjoy it!
