資源簡(jiǎn)介

When John signed up to do a triathlon(鐵人三項(xiàng)) a couple of summers ago, he had one simple goal: not to finish in last place. After all, he was doing the triathlon with his 16yearold son, Zane. He didn't want him to see his dad as the final loser.
John was not much of an athlete. He was over 50 and found lungburning exercise deeply unpleasant. But that summer his wife urged him to get in shape, and his son came up with a surprising proposal: “Let's do a triathlon together, Dad！”
Since it was his son's idea, John felt he couldn't say no. What kind of message would that send So he searched online and found a triathlon a few weeks later in Massachusetts.
They had four weeks to train. Zane was in good shape from school sports teams. John did his best. He forced himself to run around the Central Park a few times and do some laps at the local Community Center.
They drove up the night before the race. When they wheeled their bikes to the base camp, John looked around and felt uneasy. So many sharply defined muscles. So many moisturewicking socks. So many packs of highcalorie energy gels(能量棒). These folks were prepared.
“Don't panic，” John told himself. “There have to be a few in the crowd even less prepared than I am.”
They lined up by the shore and dived into the cold water. Zane immediately pulled away with strong freestyle strokes. John caught his breath, turned to the breaststroke(蛙泳) after five minutes and eventually made it back to land. He was in the bottom half of the pack but holding his own.
John ran to his bike, put on his helmet and started cycling along the hilly backroad course. For the next halfhour, he could hear other bikers zooming by. After 12 miles, he wheeled his bike through the sensors. He'd dropped lower in the pack, but there were several racers behind him.

這段文字講述的是John和他16歲的兒子Zane參加鐵人三項(xiàng)比賽的經(jīng)歷。John最初參與比賽的目標(biāo)很簡(jiǎn)單——不要成為最后一名，因?yàn)樗幌胱屪约旱膬鹤涌吹礁赣H失敗的樣子。盡管John并非運(yùn)動(dòng)員出身，且對(duì)劇烈運(yùn)動(dòng)并不擅長(zhǎng)，但為了響應(yīng)妻子讓他健身的建議以及兒子共同參賽的提議，他在有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)盡力訓(xùn)練。
在實(shí)際比賽中，John面臨著諸多挑戰(zhàn)：與那些明顯更為專業(yè)和準(zhǔn)備充分的參賽者相比，他感到自己顯得不夠格。然而，在游泳、騎行和跑步三個(gè)階段中，John雖然處于劣勢(shì)，但他堅(jiān)持不懈地完成了比賽，并沒(méi)有被其他選手拉開太大的差距。最終，他成功沖過(guò)終點(diǎn)線，得到了兒子的認(rèn)可和支持，父子倆共同慶祝了這一成就，不僅加深了彼此之間的關(guān)系，也為John個(gè)人帶來(lái)了意想不到的成長(zhǎng)和滿足感
