Anyone Training For The Phangan Duathlon/triathlon?

[sbk]

Big signs up in Thong Sala for a duathlon/triathlon on Koh Phangan. Apparently there are even monetary prizes (not huge but hey, this is Koh Phangan, what did you expect?)

I, myself, am a couch potato but was curious if anyone here were thinking of competing?

What are the events?

1. Drink 20 beers.

2. Take a swim drunk.

3. Take motorbike home.....

Stretching at the aussie training grounds....

Olympic Distance Triathlon : Swim 1.5 k.m. + Bike 40 k.m. + Run 10 k.m.

Standard Distance Duathlon : Run 10 km. + Bike 40 km. + Run 5 km.

So, I guess I can take that as a "Nobody" answer then?

I'd love to take up the Olympic version, but I'm already training for the Bantai Quadrathlon:

Pick up beach (morning) rubbish: 2hrs

+ (morning) walk dogs in mosquito-ridden jungle: 1.5hrs

+ pick up asbestos tiles and other hazardous materials thrown about local area: 1hr

+ pick up beach (afternoon) rubbish: 1hr.

Say, anyone want to join me in training for the Bantai Quadrathlon?
