I have an interesting question and have posed it many friends and coaches. I'd like to hear your opinions on the matter.... Do you think that any person with the right mentality can reach pro/elite status in the triathlon world? Pretty much I've always thought with the right mind set one can accomplish anything one wants....but triathlons have made me question this.

I'll start. I might not have super high numbers, but in terms of consistency, quality, and structure, and race results, this was my best year ever. There's a thread somewhere where we listed our goals for 2007 and I made all of those except for sub 1:10 bike split, but I can't find the thread anymore. 2007 Stats Training Stats Total training hours: 314 Swimming: 128,400 yards
