Professional triathlete Scott Tinley was a California golden boy, a two-time winner of the world's most trying endurance race, the Hawaii Ironman. For 20 years he defined the sport with his world-champion racing abilities, good looks and sense of style. Well known, well respected, well imitated, he spent half his life immersed in intensive training that was necessary to stay on top. But age finally caught him, and no amount of training would help. He stopped winning races and watched his performance slip. And, as with many top athletes, one day Scott Tinley realized his stay at the top was over. It was a crushing realization. Tinley, an introspective family man, with a wife and children to support, began to think about the new journey that lay before him, and he applied the same discipline he used as the world's top endurance athlete to learn how to face the rest of his life. It was a journey filled with false starts and heart-rending change.
For one thing, Tinley knew he was not alone, and through discussions with the likes of Bill Walton, Eric Heiden, Greg Lemond, Jerry Sherk, Alberto Salazar, Steve Scott and many other top athletes, Tinley has carved a path that anyone facing a major change in life will want to follow.
