Here in Qatar we should always remind ourselves that triathletes around the world would be envious of what lies right on our doorsteps: Warm, opal-coloured seas and white sand beaches are the main stage of our events; the fruits of the nation’s sporting ambitions gives us easy-reach access to swimming pools and running tracks; our flat roads are suited to training on the aerobars; and we have a supportive and active multisport community.
