2) You will engage core values like persistence, perseverance, patience, passion and tenacity
3) You will experience renewed energy, vigour and focus
4) You will make more new friends
5) You will be inspired and motivated by amazing people
6) You will appreciate the Power of 3
7) There are numerous lessons to be learnt at any moment
8) You will lead, and you will follow

10) You may establish yourself as an expert or authority in a particular sport/discipline. Leadership is about leaders and followers. Triathletes are an unusual tribe. They are united by a common cause. They communicate in a common language. They share a sense of understanding over personal challenges and achievements.
