I did this back in school. I wasn’t the fittest of people, definitely not sporty… we didn’t even have to take part, it was voluntary. But for some reason I felt I had to prove something to myself by entering. We were allowed to share the course with someone if we felt we couldn’t do it all alone. My friend did the swimming, I did the riding, and we ran together. We came dead last and my friend was too embarrased to run to the finish line when we were so far behind. I ran in so proud of myself, and I got a huge cheer too!
16 years later now that I’m twice the age I was then… I’d love to prove to myself now I can do all 3 events! Won’t be for a while though as I weigh probably twice as much as I did in school and am very unfit. My main exercise these days is chasing after my son (who is autistic), when he escapes from me!
