No problem, I've found it! I'd love to have a go, I ran yesterday and swam today, but have no access to a bike and am nowhere near a gym...is the idea to do something silly while doing these sports?

Hello curlygurly,

I think it is a way to all do it up to our ability.

Some might not be able to swim, or cycle so alternatives are accepted.

I also think it was devised to keep us interested and do a bit of cross training!

But you'll have to report to Dozz......

Happy running and swimming...

I wanted to know as well, but can only find posts saying people have done it! What is it?

Definitely give it a go. You've got nothing to lose but weight (and possibly your dignity, if you're as bad at swimming as me) :)

30 minutes each of swimming, cycling and running. Don't have to be on the same day. The idea is that you only compete against yourself. So, although you should record your distances for yourself so you can measure your progress next time (!), on pain of death and ex-communication you do not post your results.

Fancy dress and silliness optional!

It's Dozzer's idea so report back to him once complete.

One more important thing, entry fee is at least £1 to your chosen charity.

I think there are about fifty of us involved now - give it a go and have fun!
