hell-o, what's this?

quite a few sessions here but i'm put off by the need to join the serpentine running club, get on a waiting list and the fact it's so tri (relentless freestyle) oriented.
on that subject, even though i'm doing a couple of triathlons this year there's something about the oversubscribed and overtly macho nature of tri culture that really puts me off. a lot of guys i see training are horrible brutish swimmers and bad, rude, aggro cyclists. and when i have to sign up and pay to sit on a waiting list for honour of being elbowed, kicked and cut up by them i start to wonder if triathlons are really my thing...
