Been successful at triathlon at any level is about enjoying the sport and getting satisfaction out of the sport but you have to be able to strike a balance between all the things that are important in your life, so for most people who are likely to find this camp appealing I would expect that there are family, jobs and social aspects of life that we always need to consider as well as triathlon.
