Triathlon is often made up of inspirational stories and feats of accomplishment. Just completing a race for many people is a massive achievement, although many amateurs overcome far greater obstacles on their road to the start line.
MyStory is an annual ITU tradition where age group and paratriathlete competitors competing at the ITU Triathlon World Championships are invited to contribute their stories of how they made it to the event whilst battling through more than just the daily grind of training. Visitors to www.triathlon.org vote for their favourite features, and one man and one woman are declared the MyStory peoples favourite.
