I'm the only mormon triathlon coach race director triathlete. in the world.

It's got to be true.

How many mormons are there in the world? Like 15 million?

And of those, how many do triathlons? In my experiences, in a ward of maybe 100 people, you will have perhaps 2-3 that regularly participate and another maybe 5 that have done one at some point or another.

So let's be generous and say 10% of the LDS population participates, which is definitely an overestimate, as I am confident that church members in places like Brazil and Bolivia are participating at a lower rate in triathlons, since the sport is just not as well-established in such locales. Since less than one half of the church population resides in America, let's put it at 1 million.

That gives us 1 million mormon triathletes. Out of that 1.5 million, how many are experienced enough (and ludicrous) to contemplate a side job of coaching? In my experience, the ratio of coaches per participants--and I mean earnest coaches, who are trying to make a living, with credentials, experience, etc--is perhaps 1 out of every 50 triathletes. That means 20,000 mormon triathlon coaches. That seems very, very high, as I've yet to meet or hear of any other mormon coaches. But, let's move on.

Here's the kicker. The race director/coach thing seems to mutually exclusive. The race directors I've met are not coaches, and vice versa. Furthermore, the ratio of race directors is way, way lower than that of coaches--perhaps 1 race director for every 500 athletes. Which means there might be as many as 2000 mormon race directors (who are also athletes themselves).

And I've got to be, just got to be the only individual that has one foot in the 2,000 strong mormon race director pool and the other foot in the 20,000 strong mormon triathlon coach pool. I am the venn diagram. I am the only mormon triathlon coach race director triathlete, IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!
