And being a national champion swimmer and generally a competitive athlete, it bothers me. How can I or a ten-year-old black kid visualize being the champion if there's never been a visual before? Well, I just can't settle for that. So this year I'm on a quest to become the first ever TriBlackAlete to win a USAT age group national championship. And with a good Ironman performance in South Africa, maybe I can provide the missing \"visual.\" That would be something.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47598134624407,"sku":"9781466978690","price":3971.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781466978690.webp?v=1774999836","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/triblackalete-the-experience-of-a-black-triathlete-from-america-at-the-2012-ironman-south-africa-9781466978690","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
