Good Friday Triathlon: A Meaningful Gathering of Virtuous Friends Through Sport
For the second time, a team of like-hearted virtuous friends came together at Bedok Reservoir for a meaningful session of exercise, connection, and joy. Now into its fourth year, the Good Friday Triathlon continues to grow steadily in both spirit and participation.
This year marked the largest turnout to date, with 86 participants, following a more relaxed race distance format that welcomed a wider range of abilities. Once again, conditions were favourable, with the weather supporting a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout the day.
🏊♂️ Swim Segment – A Smooth Start
With a shift from previous morning races to an afternoon start, the swim segment at HomeTeam NS began at 1:45pm. Participants followed an “own time, own target” approach, supported by a buddy system for timing and scoring.
Despite the public holiday, the pool remained uncongested, allowing for a calm and focused start to the event.
🚴♂️ Cycling Segment – Riding with Motivation
As the swim concluded ahead of schedule, the cycling segment commenced punctually at 4:00pm. Before setting off, participants received a motivational boost through a recorded venerable discourse, grounding the activity with deeper purpose. Riders completed their cycling rounds with steady energy and mutual encouragement.
🏃♂️ Running Segment – A Joyful Evening Loop
From 6:00pm to 7:00pm, participants took on different distances, include the popular 4.3km loop around Bedok Reservoir. Many embraced a relaxed pace, choosing to walk or jog while enjoying the cooler evening weather. The atmosphere was light, supportive, and inclusive — reflecting the spirit of exercising together as a community.
🍽️ Dinner & Fellowship
Dinner commenced at 7:15pm as planned, offering a valuable opportunity for participants to bond and share their experiences. Conversations and laughter carried on past 8:00pm, as the group gradually dispersed after a fulfilling day.
Looking Ahead
With growing participation and positive feedback, the Good Friday Triathlon continues to inspire both physical well-being and spiritual connection. The team looks forward to welcoming even more members in future events.
