Upon returning to his empty house Oliver mechanically switched on the television, nodded off, then woke up the next day and did it all again. He explained to Mike, “I had money; I had stability; but I had nothing to make me feel alive, to make my body and mind work in different ways.” Triathlon changed all that and brought Oliver back to real living.
This is why it's a sport very popular among 40 something year olds :)
