Just had first one a week ago. Ton of fun:

brb - mogging sport, have to be affluent to participate due to equipment and time needed to train
brb - tri suits make you look like a super hero
brb - unlike pansy marathons, can walk around shirtless during entire event and show off
brb - open water swimming is a blast, like summer camp
brb - cool event, alpha hobby to be into, great networking
brb - can do at 30, at 40, at 50, at 60, etc.

thought itd be a gains killer but most of the top competitors are jacked at least in the Tris. Iron Mans are another beast entirely

Cons though is training sux ass. There is less crossover than you think from running to swimming to biking so basically have to hit each one up AT LEAST 2x a week which leaves little time for anything else

Another con is if you want to be competitive then cycling by far the most important but also the most fairy of all the events.


Anyone else ever do one of these things
