Scott Tinley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Tinley (born October 25, 1956) was a professional triathlete and two-time winner of the Hawaii Ironman endurance race. He was inducted into the Ironman Hall of Fame in 1996.
Now retired, Scott is a writer and teacher. His latest book, "Things to be Survived: Tales of Resolution and Resurrection" is a collection of thematically-connected stories about characters that faced typical and atypical tragedies but somehow find what goodness exists in the most unlikely of places. His previous book, Racing the Sunset, a journey through athlete retirement and the larger issues of life transition and change, is the result of one of the most thorough research projects ever attempted on retiring athletes.
Scott also teaches English and "Sport and Society" at San Diego State University. This 7th generation Southern Californian currently (2005) resides in Del Mar, California with his wife and two children.
