Elie Hirschfeld in Triathlon
The 2009 season marks my 25th consecutive year as a competitive triathlete. In April of 1982, at the young age of 35, I decided to commit to training for my first triathlon. I strongly encourage others to partake in triathlons because they have changed my life for the better. Not only do I receive physical and emotional satisfaction from the training and competition, but I am also able to contribute philanthropically to a variety of worthwhile charities, including the Century 100 mile ride in Philadelphia for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the Century 100 mile ride in NYC and NJ for MS, the NYC Marathon for Central Park Conservancy and multiple triathlons for the Ironman Foundation. This website was created with the intention of providing novice and experienced triathletes with a go-to source for stories, tips and encouragement during their training. Without further adieu, Please enjoy. |
