Triathlon is a very friendly sport. You can make friends quite easily. You don't have to be the most talented person. I was never outstanding at any one of the disciplines, but if you're dedicated and you're willing to put the time in, you can really achieve some good results.
The main thing with triathlon is you've got to be as fit as you can. I train all year round.
If I'm going to be working out two hours a day, I may as well have a goal. . . and I'm pretty competitive by nature. A triathlon is a new fun thing.
I can't eat whatever I want, definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure I eat the right things.
