Chasing Caterpillars: A Late Life Metamorphosis to Triathlete (and how you can do it!)
The author, Jerry Kyckelhahn, is far from a life-long athlete.  Compared to the athletes of today, Jerry got a delayed start into triathlon, a delay of about 50 years.  He has a degree in Civil Engineering from The Citadel and an advanced degree in Mineral Economics from the Colorado School of Mines, the result of which was a stressful life full of technical issues.  His experiences and late entry into sports ultimately led to a Pan American Continental Master’s championship in track sprints and finally to a USAT long course triathlon national championship.  But his focus has never been on winning but rather on participation and health and fitness.  He has written many previous local and national articles most of which have addressed how to have fun in triathlon and biking.
