I’ve run 29 marathons, never a triathalon. Anyway, we are different. For instance, last year, in the ill-fated Chicago Marathon, cops were telling us to start walking towards downtown–heat had forced cancellation of the race (where the finish was) and look for air-conditioned (the cops emphasized that) buses to find us along the way. Few heeded to call, I certainly didn’t, despite seeing about a dozen collapsed runners along the way.
