so here is the question, what is your american triathlon?

I was wondering what I'd do with a day off, now I know. Thank you!

You've now started a debate in my house! My husband thinks more appropriate (i.e. more American) distances would be 1700yd swim. 70mi bike. 6mile run.

This should be a race, rather than the crappy 5k's that seem to be in vogue everywhere... Give me real distance or give me death!
Go America.

Not sure of the distance, but the swim would have to be a point-to-point across the Delaware River.

I'd vote for the Liberty to Liberty triathlon. It goes from the Statue of Liberty to the Liberty Bell. I'd probably do it if I hadn't heard it was run fairly shoddily.
