Dear Local Guides,
I hope this connect post finds you well. Recently, I had the privilege to work with the Cumilla Triathlon (Swimming, Cycling, and Running) Championship held on February 22, 2025. This was kind of voluntary work. I have always enjoyed participating in voluntary work, even during my school years.
On the evening of February 21, 2025, we all met in the Kabi Nazrul Institute Center to get all the instructions from the organizer for the event that would take place the next day, February 22, 2025. Since we had to wake up early, we finished our dinner and went to bed early.
In this event, around 200 participants joined from Cumilla and from many other districts in all of Bangladesh. This event uses the following two categories:
- Sprint Triathlon (2.5 km Run → 20 km Bike → 5 km Run)
- Sprint Duathlon (750m Swim → 20km Bike → 5km Run)
It’s good to say that Local Guides Bangla was one of the volunteering support teams. On behalf of the Local Guides Bangla community, I was joined along with @ShafiulB Bhai, @KhokonSharker Bhai, @SolaimanHossain Bhai, @shahinurime Bhai, and his friend. We all have different professions, but we were volunteers for this event.
I woke up early in the morning and wore the t-shirt provided by the organizer. Then we take mental preparation and keep ourselves at different points so that participants can get the proper instructions for the right running track. For a while, I felt like I was performing the duties of a traffic police officer. Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot.
Congratulations to all the finishers and winners who completed all the activities: swimming, cycling, and running. A big thanks to Mahmudul Hasan Efaz Bhai for successfully conducting this event.
Happy Volunteering, Happy Guiding!
