More than just running

I am wondering if I should try out some of the sprint biathlon/triathlon/aquathlon events. It will help cross train more areas, better for overall fitness and weight loss. Also not just focussed on running which has high impact on our legs, for heavy bodied people like us.

For Alice, u do cycling too, do u wanna consider trying Duathlon? Then you can train swimming and cycling too, take some attention away from just running.

Singapore Biathlon 2010
13 March • 7.00am • East Coast Park (near Car Park F2)
1.5km Swim • 10km Run
Ok, East Coast, I am not interested. And it is 10km run plus such a long swim, not good for beginners like me.
