Well if it wasn’t the fastest race performance in the world, it was undoubtedly among the most entertaining.

Yesterday my two colleagues and I ventured up to Chti territory (the deep north of France for the uninitiated) for a little team-building seminar when a triathlon broke out.

The Triathlon of Ardres took place in the pictoresque village of Ardres nestled on a lakefront between a baraque à frites and a campground advertising that all its cabins are equipped with septic tanks (in lieu of HBO, I suppose).

Mega props to my colleagues Antoine (now known as the ‘4th Schleck brother’) and Alex (aka the ‘White Kenyan’) for intimidating the field in their awesome first-time performances !
