Tri Squared


Ever wanted to do a triathlon? Ever thought doing just one triathlon was for quitters? Now you can do three in a row in one epically painful weekend.

Three triathlons take place at the Wildflower festival. Most athletes aim to complete one, while a few brave and/or stupid souls decide to do them all.

Distances: Long Course = 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run
Olympic = .93 mile swim, 24.8 mile bike, 6.2 mile run
Sprint = .25 mile swim, 9.7 mile mountain bike, 2 mile run

Logistics: Start with the Long Course swim at 8am. Chill out. Start the Sprint tri at 9:45am with another swim. On finishing the Sprint, hop on your road bike and complete the Long Course tri. Go into a coma-like sleep. Start the Olympic tri at 9am the following morning. Attempt to stay alive long enough to finish.

When: April 30th - May 1st 2011

Where: Lake San Antonio, Monterey County CA

Why: You have a lot of time, money, and you've lost your damn mind

Risk Factor: dehydration, hallucination, death, hallucinating death
