Q3 2015

The last quarter of 2015 was a bit disappointing for my fitness goals. I was not up to the mark with swimming that I had to drop my original plan to try Olympic Triathlon as part of Hyderabad Triathlon. It was more disappointing that I could not even try Sprint Triathlon. To compensate, I wanted to try becoming a super randonneur by completing 300, 400 and 600 Km brevets. But I dropped that plan as well as I was not prepared to ride all night upsetting my biological clock.

I did finish a few events successfully though. I completed my third 200Km brevet on Nov 14th in my best time so far, in 12 hours 8 minutes. That was more than an hour better than my earlier attempts, aided by tailwinds during the first half and relatively pleasant winter weather for the entire duration.

I ran Hyderabad 10K on November 29th along with my daughter. We took 1 hour 23 minutes to complete 10Km and had a good time chatting and encouraging my daughter.

I went on a pleasant ride to the airport covering about 80Km on Dec 12th. A couple of nice clicks during the ride.

There was also RBI 5K Run on Dec 20th, where I came 4th. It was a good feeling to get a prize instead of just the usual finisher medal.
