So a buddy of mine sent this to me, saying how triathlons were easy compared to it. I have to admit, never hearing of it, let alone seeing pictures, this is quite an endurance event lol.

I am not sure if that looks really fun or really awful. Either way, it's not everyday you see a Brit in a mankini!

That which does not kill me makes me faster...

Similar race on this side of the pond in VT, I like the 3:00a.m. start. No fire, but I think that's a bit overkill anyway.

i'd much rather do a triathlon. Nothing is better than getting into a nice aero tuck or getting into a good rhythym on the run.

An HOUR? They call this the tough guy? I didn't even know you could get hypothermia in under 60 min.

Greatness is only achieved by those who perpetually raise the expectations of themselves to the point where it ruins their life.

I tend to lean toward the "only an hour?" argument too, but if the course is 11 miles and even remotely resembles the pics, *that* pace on *that* course is pretty sick. But a 2 or 3 hour finish? Big. Whoop.
