"Biathlon Training"

To use that term would seem too extreme, considering the actual event would take up to 10x the distance, as compared to what we went though this morning.

2 laps (100m) swim + ~0.9km run around camp parameters completes 1 set.
We did a total of 2. Come thursday, rumors say its gonna be 3.

Physically, I don't find that taxing since I'm pretty used to it. In fact, for the entire period, my head was pretty flushed by the adrenaline cos we've never attempted such mass-orgy like activity before.. imagine ard 20 people in the pool at one time..

What I found awkward was having to run half naked around the camp with another bunch of mindef uncles and aunties concurrently having their healthy-lifestyle runs... Normally, biathelets put on their top form the post swim runs ; and we're doing the opposite.

Another interesting thing I found out is the slight loss of balance after the swim. So there I was running in tipsy manner, round the camp half naked (with some loose skin wobbling with each stride I take)..
