You Don't Have To Be An Olympian To Train

   With the Summer 2012 Olympics starting in London many people around the world are in awe of the physical strength, speed, endurance, and a host of other attributes that the contestants exhibit during these games.

    What most people are also thinking is that there is no way they would ever be able to compete in any sort of event that comes close to that of the Olympics. But, you don’t have to be an Olympian to train or compete in events. Every year thousands of Team In Training participants, normal people like you, train to compete in Olympic distance running, swimming, and cycling races.

    Not only do our participants train, much like Olympians do, but they raise massive amounts of money, $1.2 billion since the organizations creation, for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. If you are nervous about training and still do not think that you have the ability to compete in this manner, don’t worry you’ll have an entire team of TNT staff, coaches, mentors, teammates, friends and family behind you cheering you on the entire way.

    So what is your excuse now? Get up off the couch, join a team, and do the impossible! Compete in an Olympic distance event and help defeat blood cancers!
