In the last few weeks, Competitor Group, the publisher of Inside Triathlon, has announced two openings as their editors have left. I should apply, because they are as close to my "dream" jobs as I can reasonably expect to find.
One problem: I haven't graduated yet.
UPDATE: I applied.
Yesterday (Wednesday) was a breakthrough day. Shouldered with the task of creating a last-minute spread for the Fall '09 issue of Scoop in the in the hours before it hit the printing press, Carly Bushong and I cranked out a darn-fine story, "First Look: Scripps Convergence Lab," by the afternoon.
The process led me to two conclusions:
1. Other people trust me with stuff that will be sent to 15,000 people.
2. I trust myself with stuff that will be sent to 15,000 people.
So why not see if Triathlete Magazine will take a chance on me? I wrote a cover letter, tweaked my resume, and sent them off last night around 11 p.m. Who knows how long it'll take to hear a response...but as soon as I do, I'll let you know.
Coincidentally, it was a rotten day for training. Snow in the morning, deadlines in the afternoon, meeting in the evening. And I ate a metric ton of Hibachi chicken and shrimp for dinner. And I fretted over missing my swim. But it led me to The Top Three Reasons Triathletes Should Not Swim Year-Round.
Read and enjoy!
