Really?? Wheel barrel? Do you pronounce it like that as well? I would burst out laughing if I worked in a hardware store and someone came in asking for a "wheel barrel".
Barrow / barrel
They sound identical.
1. Recumbent stationary bicycle (scored as average wattage over 30min)
2. Elliptical (average wattage over 30min)
3. Aquajog (one mile, there will be underwater officials to yellow-card or red-card competitors for form violations)
I call it the injury triathlon.
Hot dog eating followed by any two of the standard triathlon sports. I've always wanted to see it added to the triathlon anyway.
Alternatively, the regular three triathlon sports but done in reverse order.
I'll borrow from some of the other posters.
1-Hot dog eating contest (15 per competitor)
2-Biathlon style shooting, only standing. Miss targets, have to run laps around a 400m loop. Must use a .30 caliber or large rifle, 100yd. Can used magnified sight.
3-Must make 200 free throws.
1) pogo stick 1 mile
2) unicycle 1 mile
3) run 5k
A former teammate of mine would probably dust me in this, but I think this would yield me the best result.
"action sports triathlon"
5k rollerblade, 5k skateboard, 5k on a bmx bike.
Alternatively, you could have a "challenge course" (equivalent of a mountain bike triathlon?) with obstacles, ramps, etc. but on a shorter course.
I assume I could finish in the top third?
Would depend on a few details . . .
