Mitch Thrower

Author, triathlete, entrepreneur, producer and financier with a passion for Adventure living in La Jolla, California, New York City and at least one other undisclosed location.

Where do I start? I love to write, breathe, work and workout. I love people, places, but most of all travel. My soul is made of great music, passion, integrity, adventure, honesty, moments of laughter until I cry, can't breathe and my cheeks hurt. When I close my eyes I can see the ocean. When I wake up, every day feels like clear day after a rainstorm. I love to take a deep breath of the air before and after thunderstorms, and sometimes when I meet someone I feel like I was struck by lightening.

True story: My mom was hit by lightening before she had me, perhaps that's what happened. One of the greatest parts of my life is the fountain of youth we call Triathlon. I've been racing and training for a while, and I'm training for my 11th Hawaii Ironman in October.

I fell in love at least once - it knocked me off my feet, but gave me the capacity to fly. I have had a recurring dream since I was a kid that I am flying. When I was little, I used to get hurt sometimes jumping off of stuff because I was convinced I could fly. My flying dream now happens twice a month or so and I really look forward to it. I can almost feel the same way when I descend a steep hill in the mountains and I stand up and lean forward on my bike.

My entire life is a hobby so I don't have things I do on the side - I just do them all in the middle of my day, and until the part of night that is so late that I wonder when the daylight is going to start to appear outside my window. Professionally: my career focus is to profitably grow Triathlete Magazine- the world’s largest triathlon magazine - and the brand Triathlete -- around the world. Early morning, I train, late night, I write. Working on a fiction novel. My first book is in bookstores - "Attention Deficit Workplace: Winning Strategies for Success in Today's Fast Paced Business Environment." I'm also working on a book called "Attention Deficit Dating: Winning Strategies for Success in Today's Mating Game." If you want to send me a wild dating story, for possible inclusion - that would be great, let me know if I should change the names of the people in the story.
