Recently I had an opportunity to participate in a race with a fellow endurance athlete here in San Francisco, Henrik Olsen. Henrik is a seasoned triathlete, holding several Iron Man finishes. Beyond competing in triathlons, Henrik likes to test his endurance skills on the marathon course. He and I ran together for a few miles of the California International Marathon on December 7th, but he soon took off to finish with a new personal best.
After all of the excitement was over, I sat down with Henrik to talk about competing in triathlons, running marathons, and living his life as a distance athlete.
