Wednesday was the last day of classes at Carleton, which means that today and tomorrow are the traditional "reading days" during which students are supposed to be prepping for exams this weekend and next week. Surely, most are.
But Carleton students are a notoriously hard-driving bunch (I think they make the fabled workaholics at the U of Chicago look lazy), and, in addition, given to spending their time in quirky ways. So today is also the day of the annual Carleton Triathlon, which kicked off 40 minutes ago in the campus pool, continues with a bike leg over the roads east of town and then concludes on the running trails in the Arb.
A nice "off" day, no?
