Based on comments on other threads, I thought I would see if we could generate some creative/unique event ideas or report on events we have found something fun and unique...
To get the ball rolling....
I have attended a few Cyclocross events and have always thought: Why not a Cyclocross Triathlon with a similar course and vibe...
-2 short loops on the swim with a "get out" after the first lop and you have to hurdle a barrier or something before diving back in for the 2nd loop
-"Easier" cyclocross course for the bike (dont want to scare to many potential "novices" (me) off by to hard of a course...keep obstacles fairly tame but fun.....loop course....5 loops or something?...people come out and feel comfortable using their mt bikes
-loop run with obstacles that aren't to much....but unique and fun...
loud punk rock music (hard and fast...like the event) with fun commentary....break heats up in grouped, similar ability age groups and genders...target 30 minutes for winning time...run course is separate from bike course so you can begin the next group about 20 minutes after the one in front.....
