So the runner commenting on his upcoming triathlon RELAY is worthy of a WSJ article?

It's not about triathlon. It's about life.

That title line is a bit mis-leading given that this "triathlon" and "5 hours of pain" is being shared amongst 3 people (and more than likely 6-7 hours)... A triathlon is easy when you aren't doing all 3 legs yourself.
Aside from that, great story about life's hardships.

Yes. Also it's not an article. It's an essay in the commentary section.

Lament all you will, it centers on triathlon and the tie to past Polish hardships was not interesting in any shape or fashion.

Hey, at least you found some commonalities between the commentary and your posts here!
It was a pretty innocuous read, if you ask me.

So, the discussion of past Polish hardships did not cause you to reflect that perhaps most of us have had very, very easy lives, relatively speaking??? IMO, we all need to be reminded of that occasionally. I found the essay quite interesting.
