i stole this from the other thread - i’ve heard people griping in the past to ‘make the swim longer!’, but this idea sounds wild. think i’ll put together one for my friends some day, as i’d be fascinated to see how it would unfold (especially with different single-sport specialists involved):
- Equilateral Triathlon: A triathlon, proposed by Wainer and De Veaux (1994), in which each leg would take an approximately equal time. For example, their “Olympic” triathlon, run as a relay, should take three world-record holders each about 28 minutes per leg: 2.7 km swim / 22.4 km bike / 10 km run.
and: Who would win?
