    "This case should not prevent people who want to engage in this sort of activity doing so"

    It should it really, really should.....

    you have forgotten how to drink out of anything that isn't a sports bottle, and you have enough equipment in your car/home so that you can always be running swimming or cycling in less than 3 minutes....

    Didds, how long did it take you type all that?



    You become a triathlete when everyone says your mental for doing what you do, however these are the same people with 38inch waists and could run to the loo if their ass depended on it.
