My siblings want me to run, bike, and swim in a race with them.
To me that sounds just like something out of the seventh layer of hell, but did you guess it is around $74 to do something that horrible? First you swim, then bike as well as then end the triathlon with a run.
Why would any sane person want to do this? You don’t get any money, prestige or entirely anything. Some people like to do it for bragging rights. I guess I could physically do it, but there is no way I am going to. My siblings don’t get our reluctance though. I have been trying to think of a wonderful excuse to give them. The newest 1 I tried was saying that saltwater bothers our skin. After racing through the ocean, I would have that gross saltwater irritating our skin during the bike ride and mixing with my sweat during the run. My sibling looked up the course layout as well as found that a shipping container company is setting up a prefab bathroom at each station. This means that after racing through the ocean, there is a modular bathroom unit waiting. There are 12 individual toilet stalls and a number of showers. The prefab bathroom has Heating & Air Conditioning, plumbing as well as electricity. Every triathlon competitor can pee, shower as well as change their clothes for the bike ride. I recognize that would entirely ruin your triathlon time. I will admit that it is super cool that it is given though. I still don’t want to do the competition no matter whether there is a prefab bathroom or not. The bathrooms do entice me a little bit. I like that I would not need to hold in my bodily fluids the entire time.
