Our hero rises before daybreak and travels to the temple.
He is warmly greeted by the congregation. After the introductions, the group bows their head. Introspectively, they reflect on peace, on sin, on suffering. In fact, they suffer. Humbled, many completely accept the Original Sin and other trespasses.
After the service, in the glorious light of day, there is relief and merriment. The members of the congregation break bread together, and warmly exude the manifestations of their reflections, and yet somehow cannot fully express their experience, their soul-searching. It is a peaceful time.
A triathlon is not only a sporting event: it is a church.
