On a Monday evening, four members of the Iowa State Triathlon Club cycle together in one of State Gym’s multipurpose rooms. They sit on stationary bikes, kept inside and away from the elements during the frigid Iowa winter months. The comrades pedal steadily in a neat line, two face the door while the other two sit opposite.
The triathletes maintain their rhythm despite the action from the boxing club practice taking place around them. Perspiration beads on their foreheads as they pedal along, putting in miles of effort without moving an inch.
