#52 - A Non-Swimming Marine Turned Year Round Triathlete

Today's guest first dipped his toe into the swimming pool when he enlisted in the Marines and completed his swim test with survival backstroke. And if you can't tell by the name alone, survival backstroke isn't really what we would call a stroke...rewind a few years to when Dexter Braithwaite, today's guest, saw a triathlon on TV and thought it was so crazy and made it a goal to compete in one some day. Now Dexter trains for triathlons year round and he's definitely not swimming survival backstroke anymore. Sit back and take a listen as we get to know Dexter and his story a bit more and learn how he got to where is in his triathlon journey today.
