Chillin' on Sentosa


The only thing better than doing a race is not doing a race..

I rode my bike from my house to Sentosa this morning to watch the TriBob Sprint Series "biathlon" - I put biathlon in quotes, because I always thought a biathlon was skiing and shooting.. Had I know it was an aquathlon (swimming and running), I'd have stayed in bed.

All kidding aside, it was a neat event - first of three sprint races to be held over the next two months.. The "biathlon" was a 750 meter swim, followed by a 5k run. The next event is a duathlon, consisting of a 3k run, 15k bike and another 3k run. The final event in the series is a sprint triathlon (half olympic distance). Having seen how well run the "biathlon" was (even without the snow and cracks of gunfire), I may well sign up for the remaining two events.
