A few people have mentioned Triathalons. I'm planning on doing one myself. Do any of you have one in mind? It might be a good idea to all do the same race

whats a triathalon exactly - i feel the mother of all prop bets coming on. :pac:

Hectorjelly

A standard olympic triathalon is

1.5 km (0.93 mi) Swimming
40 km (24.8 mi) Cycling
10 km(6.2 mi) Running

sickpuppy

Swim a run and a cycle Noel swim usually shortest distance
then the run and cycle is longest distance.

sickpuppy

Surely theres anoobs distance too .

like a round of each game but with exercise instead

the desire to 'do' one afflicts certain people when they hit their 30s and realise they're O.....L....D

ya, i can harldy drive those distances without falling asleep at the wheel - im sure there are shorter ones also.

jbravado

I would offer a pretty big price that no one from the forum completes a triathalon in the next 12 months.
Unless you a very competent swimmer it is a HUGE ask and requires a level of training and fitness that I doubt many poker players have/or would be able to achieve.

What is a Triathlon ?
basically all the lads in yer class who were paddy last at running, cycling and swimming got together and designed a 3 event race that the very slow
could perform well in, the beauty of it is all you have to be is a stubburn fecker who doesn't mind running down the street with a pice of poo falling down yer leg.
Some people who have been reported missing to Gardai have turned up 3 days later at the finish line of some triathlon or other covered in gick and ready to receive a medal they so longed for in their school days...
IMO

Jesus Wept

fúck that.

Price? Incentive is a great thing.

Genuinely would be interested in this as a prop bet.

There are mini triathlons as well. I only know this obv as I know someone who did one. I think the distances are all halved.

con_leche

I did Tri Athy this year in about 2:45 on my first attempt. It's the easiest course in Ireland.

I am seriously interested in doing either a 3 hour marathon, or a 2 hour 30 minute olympic distance triathalon next year, as I am currently fat and unfit.

If it's going to be a triathlon, it's got to be an Ironman Triathlon, none of this Olympic standard crap

2.4-mile (3.86-kilometre; 77 lap) swim
112 mi (180.2 km) bike ride
26.2 mi (42.195 km) run.

I could easily do the swim bit and with a bit of training I reckon I could handle the cycle as well, but I'd need to be training for a good 9-12 months to be able to do all three, would love to do it though

Bollox to that. Sam said he'd give a big price on a triathlon. Not an Iron Man. A friend of mine is in training for an Iron Man and he is the fittest mo fo I know and he is still some way off.
