New York Times

This article from the Sunday NYT was linked in the Slowtwitch forums. It captures the mindset of enduro-junkie pretty well. As I'm starting this multisport journey, this quote seemed to ring true:
"Almost inevitably, I’d fallen into a triathlon stage, a near mandatory passage for someone like me — middle-aged, unaccomplished at any specific sport, afflicted with an equipment fetish and in desperate need of new ways to underperform. Why be good at one sport when you can be unimpressive at three?"
