Got to give them credit, if that was a triathlon the swim would be cancelled due to waves above 1ft.

In all seriousness, that looks like a ton of fun. I'd pull something 15 seconds in though.

I feel like all these events are made up after a few (too many) drinks.

I swim fast because I'm afraid of sharks.

This actually looks like a really fun event. And the buff bodies don't hurt either...

You have got to be kidding!!!

I thought I was watching a local special Olympics competition.

A good friend of mine owns a crossfit gym. The two of us banter endlessly about triathlon vs. crossfit. He says that the crossfit open will someday include an ironman. That comment produced endless further entertainment for me, needless to say!

Just like the first Ironman, which was a bar bet over drinks.

My CrossFit instructor was there. He placed 13th OA, I think. Crushed the endurance events.
