I stand corrected

I know that I mentioned in my triathlon post that no one in countries with actual problems should be worrying about silly old triathlons, but I stand corrected.

Check out this article from The Guardian about Iran's first female triathlete. She will compete in the world championships in London, fully covered in an clothing approved by the Iranian sports ministry.
Her swimsuit adds an extra 6kg to her weight in the water, and she will change clothes in a private tent after the swim and bike. It takes a real athlete, and pioneer, to race in full hijab.
