Following his win during the 2014 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon in the United Arab Emirates, Tyler Butterfield say’s he is just now starting to feel the real effect of his accomplishment.
Butterfield said, ‘While I am still new to the Long Course events, I was better prepared this time around, I think maybe even a little too relaxed.”
“I miss calculated the amount of energy packs I would need to complete the race, but once I got through the stage of only having a quarter of a mile to go I thought to myself, if I can’t see anyone behind me I should be able to get to the finish line first, ” continued Butterfield.
“The big event of the year is the Kona event, but I am very happy to get my season started in this way and I am looking forward to just improve throughout the year,” concluded Butterfield.
