I have heard people describe triathlon as a "journey." I was talking to Matt Seely a few years ago and he told me that 90 percent of the satisfaction in triathlon comes from the training (the journey). I would agree that the training is satisfying, and a great amount of satisfaction comes from systematic progression towards the accomplishment of a challenging goal.
In contrast, 90 percent of the satisfaction while traveling the road to road to redemption is arriving at the destination. I have arrived and it feels amazing.
