"Run for yourself, not for others.
Run for fun, not for fame.
Run for love, not for money.
Run your own race"
This closing summary of your advice Chinmay is superb.
I don't do bikes or triathlons, but my son-in-law does, and he does it for all the reasons you list above.
Thank you for this excellent article too.
Also, thank you for deciding to follow me ... I have reciprocated.
