I'm predicting Larsen comes out of retirement for this.

Let the trash talk...begin!!!

I emailed Olaf and Mark. Both are in. Only if Frank allows only triathletes in. If you allow specialists of each sports, it's a done deal and no triathlete team would get close.
For a Kenyan, $33,000 isn't peanuts (unless you're paul tergat and get 1 million just to run in London)...so there would likely be a 2h15 runner.
then he can easily find a 4h45 rider and a 43-44 swimmer

I wonder if there will be some protests from female athletes...surely an all-female team should have a chance of their own. What would be a legit time for them to trty and break?

or they can give anyone who posts in this thread an ST shirt. yeah!

OOOH. That's nasty. Good thing I've had my dinner.

Did he just want to replace his soles?

I guess EO/AA says that females are also allowed to break 8hrs.
More seriously. I'd say around 9h15 on this course.
Usually there is a 1h diff. but more on hilly courses.

Solid triathlete team...I don't know enough about women road bikers to know who'd be good in the women's unlimited division. Kate Ziegler and Tomescu-Dita (she'll race any race) would be the other two though.

I was thinking about that this morning... is it realistic for an all female team to have a chance at an 8hr time? What about a co-ed team?

There was talk on Gordoworld that Gordo, Bjorn and Monica (his wife) could team up. She is an steller swimmer from what I have heard. I would think the team would have to be coed. At least have the guy bike. But you never know.

You'd probably need a male runner too, as there aren't that many females who can run a marathon that fast.
