Triathlon and Social Service

Myself and sudhir started a funny triathlon race... We were initially going to the swimming pool by bike and run after getting back home... The bike was not fitting the scene as it was time for physical exertion.. Decided to get cycle in instead of the bike.. But only one cycle :-(.. Then we remembered Bangalore Hash's chennai - pondy relay race. There were a van full of runners pacing the runner. When the runner gets tired, he/she gets into the van and another runner continues the race... The idea was flicked... It's 4.5 k to the pool from home.. I run in the morning with sudhir pacing me with the cycle and roles swapped while returning.. And of course swimming in the pool :-)

People were staring at us with surprise throughout... They might be thinking that either we are wierdos ( In which case they are right ) or staring out of jealousy... If they can imbibe cycling and running seeing us, then good for them... We felt we were doing a strange kind of social service though our idea of triathlon was out of complete selfishness:-)
