Once an oddity in the world of sport, Triathlon has become the fastest-growing participation sport in the world. Each year millions of people line-up for their chance to take on the swim-bike-run events, and each participant has a very personal reason for being there. Based on Lao-Tzu’s 2500-year-old book of wisdom, The Triathlete’s Tao Te Ching provides athletes with a tool to examine how and why they race, and what their involvement in endurance sports means in the greater context of their lives.

(Boulder, Colorado - November 27, 2012) - “Looking back at the day I blew-out both of my shoulders, I see what a relief it was,” said Lance Johnson, author of The Triathlete’s Tao Te Ching: An Endurance Athlete’s Interpretation of Lao-Tzu’s Ancient Text. “I had been training for almost two years without racing because I was constantly comparing myself to the people around me, and in a town like Boulder it’s easy to feel like you’re just not fast enough. None of the people I trained with cared, they just wanted to see me out racing with them. But over those couple years I had gone from training and racing to understand myself, to training so that I could race to define myself.”
