I'd do swimrun Bahamas :)

The people who were hypothermic likely moved too slow. No one in the frontt 2/3 of the field had these issues. We will be much stricter next year who we let in. And folks who get pulled, drop out* or do not finish sub 6 hours will need to finish another swimrun before applying again to ours.

* If a team drops out that has previously placed well we will let them back in. And we will reserve judgment case by case

i'll second what Marcus said. traveling for a swimrun is very convenient. no checked bags needed. the larger Orca backpack in the photo below had all the racing equipment i needed for ÖTILLÖ.

Herbert:
"I would be shocked actually if someone who did SwimRun NC felt that they did not get their money’s worth"

So would I. I've done SwimRun NC both years and feel that it is a very well run event by volunteer race directors, you definitely get a great return on race fee investment. Great swag, the best post race meal you will ever find, beautiful setting, friendly competitors, awesome race pics that you don't have to buy (just give credit to photographers). Think of what you spend on a 70.3 (which for many of us is a race of similar duration) and it is a bargain.

SwimRun Boston Harbor Islands - new for June 16, 2018
SwimRun Casco Bay Islands - 3rd year, Aug. 12, 2018
SwimRun San Juan Islands - new for Sept. 23, 2018

Only two of 190 teams withdrew from SwimRun Casco Bay Islands due to hypothermia in 2017. Prepared....and tough most were.

No assumption needed, you affirmatively expressed a cynically sarcastic view. = shit on.

Yea, I know more and more are popping up... This is exciting! Living in Wisconsin, I am holding out for a race in Minnesota or Wisconsin, which I imagine is on the horizon. You'd think the Land of 10,000 Lakes (Minnesota) would be able to host a good course once the demand is there. My point is more they are few and far between and that I am hoping to try one once one comes around that does not require a long flight and lodging expenses.

Today is your lucky day!
