Professional triathlete SCOTT TINLEY was the California golden boy, a two-time winner of the world's most trying endurance race, the Hawaii Ironman. For twenty years he defined the sport with his world-champion racing abilities, good looks, and sense of style. Well known, well respected, well imitated, he spent half his life immersed in theintensive training that he needed to stay on top. But age finally caught him, and no amount of training would help. He stopped winning races and watched his performance slip. And, as with many top athletes, one day Scott Tinely realized his stay at the top was over. It was a crushing realization. Tinley, an introspective man, a family man with a wife and children to support, began to think about the new journey that lay before him, and he applied the same discipline he used as the world's top endurance athlete to learn how to face the rest of his life. It was a journey filled with false starts and heartrending change. For one thing, Tinley knew he was not alone, and through discussions with the likes of Bill Walton, Cal Ripken Jr., Eric Heiden, Greg Lemond, Jerry Sherk, Alberto Salazar, Steve Scott and many other top athletes, Tinley has carved a path that anyone facing a major change in life will want to follow. Racing the Sunset will do for athletes what Passages did for an entire generation.
