My name is Dirk Bockel. I grew up in Germany, I am Luxembourgish, I studied in the United States, and I race triathlons all over the world. I am an Olympian. I am an Ironman. I am happily married. I travel—a lot.

Live & Let Tri is my blog. It is about triathlon lifestyle, nutrition, motivation, gear, training, & competition—and my life as I travel from race to race and balance professional sport with family life.
