The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It was so unexpected. Verzbicas, who had placed fourth behind McDowell, promised he would win the world title in his honor—a feat he accomplished by running away from a small pack of cyclists he had broken away with. The YouTube video of this moment is sure to make you smile.

Oregon—and college life—was a difficult adjustment for Verzbicas in other ways, as he had long ago adopted the monastic lifestyle that is so typical of an Olympic athlete. So it was not easy just to be a serious athlete. Spend a few days with Verzbicas and this comment bears itself out. While he has an apartment in Colorado Springs with a roommate from the Elite Triathlon Academy, he chooses to live with his parents and younger brother.

And while I was in Colorado he spent nearly every waking moment with the man whom he credits with coaching him to his great achievements: Bertulis.

We get in arguments. While there, it appeared that Bertulis was concerning himself more with holding Verzbicas back—preventing him from training too hard—than pushing him toward greatness.

Verzbicas and the rest of the academy later swam another 3,m to finish off the day. Verzbicas insisted he ride at least one more.

Once at the top for a second time, Bertulis remarked to me that Verzbicas was done—two repeats was enough. This is a sentiment that was echoed by Keith Dickson, who is the founder of the Elite Triathlon Academy and the Multisport Madness Triathlon Team and who has known Verzbicas since he was In his pro debut, a race that consisted of B- and C-level triathletes, Verzbicas was about one minute down on the leaders into T1.

Hopefully that will turn into performance in races. While I was in Colorado, Bertulis told me that Verzbicas could now swim m in a long-course pool at altitude in less than one minute, and that he had recently done 4 x yards off the wall in 53 seconds each with two minutes rest after each interval.

While Verzbicas obviously has the talent and inner drive to be the best triathlete in the world, as to whether he will achieve this is another question—one that is always raised when any young athlete shows spectacular promise. ST: Anything else new and exciting? Also, I already lost weight having come back; I was affected by the freshman 15 in Oregon… Well everything here is really perfect for training; such great facilities, air 6.
