I Surprise Myself - Pentathlon Gold

I must say through all this running, I haven't forgotten that I once had some sporting pretensions ... and although I gave up on any hopes of sporting glory man, one can forclose, but one never forgets.

And so it is with much pride and joy that I lifted the Bombay Gym Pentathlon trophy played across football, tennis, squash, badminton, sprint, snooker and swimming (each competitor drops one resulting in a best of 5 situation).

The fineprint is that I won in the 35 to 40 age group, but I was feeling good to dominate across groups (since I didn't have to we'll never know if I would have :-)

Mary Kom was a the awards ceremony, and I was itching to get the award from her. Classy lady who lets her hands do the talking - unf she tired after the first few, and the honors were handed out by some honcho from Tata Housing. No matter, I got my 5 secs in the sun!!
