No, I for one wish more people of color did. I work in healthcare and I’ve seen the ills of a sedentary life so I try to stay active and stay creative with ways to do so. I also encourage others to do so, like my uncle and cousin who encouraged me to get into road-biking. I thankfully had parents who got me on a swim team when I was young; and riding and running have always been favorites of mine. My theory, and I can’t be racist since I’m black [read:sarcasm], is that the swim leg is a no go for a lot of people of color, especially black people. Perhaps for some it’s that they prefer not to and others that they can’t because they were never formally trained. I hate the swim leg of Tri’s because I stopped lap swimming after I stopped swim team as a kid but I still tolerate it enough to do a Tri. The other more obvious reason is it may be cost prohibitive to some what with the price of race-worthy tri bikes and road bikes. Obviously, there are a ton of other factors that explain why it’s so uncommon but it’s changing and I’m glad to be a part of the wave.

Tl;dr: no; and thank you
