Wanna make $100,000
Quote | Reply
Ok, just received an email from the RD at Silverman that if your relay team goes under 8 hours for the race, the first team to do it wins $100,000.

That's super cool!!! Not that I would have a chance at that but I would think some guys could come up with a team that could accomplish this?

This should be easy of 3 pros. The payout is better than IMNA offers if they split it.

That's my thoughts as well. I woudl think all you would need is a small powerful cyclist to conquer the hills and you could easily do it.
I would love to see that done. ALthough I won't see it since I will likely be WAY back. ;)

lol...I doubt it. I think he has many $100,000's lying around. Plus he would only get 1 third of it. Would be cool though. If Dave Scott gets some good folks on his team I wonder if he could pull it off.

50' and 2h30' marathon is do-able for some. so that leaves 4h40 for the bike course....

If it is really that hard, forget it, or you should have a 2h15' marathon dude at the start.

With almost 10,000ft of climbing on the bike, good luck on a 4:30, or maybe that would just be me that would have a hard time. :)

Francois weighs like 45 lbs (not kg) and actually has a negative drag coefficient ;-)

OK, so Sergio's gonna hafta run a 2:30 or better. I'm sure SAC has got him primed so that he could do that at the drop of a hat.

I think that the prize purse will stay in Las Vegas, unless they really bring out the big guns, like tour de france riders and sub 2h10 marathonners....
chance that they will show up is slim, cause they don't need 33.000$

this could be the start of a serious new race series. Imagine if race feild pros like grant hackett, david zabriskie, and negussi hailu were to team up, that's an easy win right there.

I wonder if they give the runner a "special hydration" mix if they look to be on pace. Maybe some ipecac and raw chicken?

I would guess the trick here is not to go sub 8 but to be the fastest team. I would be surprised if any triathletes are on the team that wins.

10,000 ft of climbing and 1,000 ft of net gain.

Sub 8:00 will be harder than you guys think, but it's doable.


Oh yeah, 2800ft of climbing on the marathon as well.

Why? There are many ex-Olympic caliber swimmers/triathletes around, so that part is "easy".

Somebody with Bjorn in their name (or comparable) could do the bike.

I'd imagine that any Pro would could go sub-3 on an IM mary could probably do 2:30 or possibly faster as a stand-alone.

Granted, none of these would be quite as fast as the current world champs/top pros in the 3 separate disciplines, but plenty fast enough to get the job done.

And unlike for the pros in the single sports, the tri pros could REALLY use the extra $33,000.

Imagine one of the top TDF TT'ers, one of the Kenyan marathoners and one of the top open water swimmers. I bet they'd be closer to seven hours than eight.
