Race for Change Triathlete – Darien Edwards
Naomi Osaka! I can’t play tennis but maybe she’ll do one of the Triathlon Sports against me!
Occasionally watching Netflix, mostly Naruto lately. Reliving my childhood.
Ironman easily. Give me a crowd, let me be the star, give me the pressure. I wanna be the man you’re watching on race day.
I eat McDonald’s and pizza more than I should.
This is my way of giving back to the sport of triathlon. I never know how long good times are going to last, so if i can do something special that helps people like it’s helped me, that’s all I could ask for.
I don’t want people to look far and wide to find someone that looks like them doing something they want to try at a higher level. When i first looked into triathlon, i only knew of one black person that did the sport which was David Goggins.
We live in a fantastic world where we don’t need to know people in person anymore to learn from. Use your social channels to reach out to people doing the things you want to do. If you message ten regular people asking for assistance or guidances, you’re going to at least get some responses. Triathletes and endurance athletes love talking about the sports they’re in. We love when someone new is trying to enter the sport. Be ready to learn a lot and do what that person says.
