The triathlon that took place on the 9th of October 2023 was an exhilarating event. This time, the triathlon was executed on a large scale, captivating the attention of grades 8-12 as we pushed past our physical capabilities. This mega sporting event was inaugurated by our Principal, Akhila Maám, at the swimming pool area.

Swimming, cycling and then running, one after the other, proved to be an incredibly demanding task. However, our true capabilities remain concealed until we push past the boundaries of what we think is possible.

When running that last lap of the race, every fiber of your body wants to collapse and surrender to the overwhelming exhaustion that you are feeling. There’s no air in your lungs, your head is throbbing from the heat and intense fatigue. Nevertheless, the sense of fulfillment and accomplishment upon crossing that finish line is just unfathomable.

Whether you win or not, the essence lies in the fact that you surpassed your own mental barriers and fought through the pain. In my opinion, the triathlon was by far the toughest sports competition of the year. However, the harder you work towards a goal – the better it feels when you finally achieve it.
