I was thinking yesterday, doing a World Series Iron man race isn’t too bad:
The swim is 4km and the cutoff is 2 hrs. and 20 min., the bike is 180km and the cutoff time is 10 hrs and 30 min from the beginning of the race, and the run is a full marathon which is 42km and cutoff time is 17 hours from the beginning of the race.
Not that I can swim, but that’s only 38 laps of an olympic size swimmin pool, and it sounds pretty easy! The cycling – I’ve never ridden that far before, mostly because I’ve never had time, and I can’t carry around enough food to feed me for such a long time. And the run, well that’s just easy anyway. And sure it might be rough to do these all in the same day, but they feed you all the energy bars, drinks, fluids, gels, etc that you desire and stuff, and each different activity uses mostly different muscle groups, so it’d be refreshing jumping on the bike, or donning the shoes!
This is definitely on my to do list – although plane tickets to Hawaii aren’t cheap, and the entry fee alone is US$450
