Great Floridian Triathlon
UC Law 98-er, Jim Lopez, is too modest to admit this, but the word on the street is that he completed this event, which is pretty sick.
The Male Results finishers list does show a "James Lopez" from Washington DC. He swam 2.4 miles in 1:26, then biked 112 miles in 7:24, and then ran a 5:18 marathon, which means he spent 14 hours 32 minutes swimming, biking, and running, or about as long as Ewald spent in class in law school.

First of all, I did watch all three Director's Cut of the Lord of the Rings. In the theatre. With Michael Frey. It did take about that long. And I probably gained what James lost. Secondly, I think that it would take me two and half weeks to complete the same thing. James, if I want to compete inthat next year what do I need to do. Right here and now I am challenging Clark and Bud.

And enter the last name "Lopez." You have to scroll through some real Lopez's before you get to our Lopez.
Interestingly, there is a Kentucky Ironman, for those of you so inclined.
I was discussing this with Chavez. It is doubtful that any of us could finish a full triathlon. But I would be willing to compete in a mini-triathlon against the likes of Clark and Bud. But all three of us must compete.
I am perectly willing to promote, mock, and take book on this event, in the unlikely event that all three agree to participate.

perhaps the little miami triathlon is more up calaway and clark's alley...

instead of swimming, this race includes kayaking (or canoe if teams of two i think)
this race requires: 6 mile canoe (or kayak?), 5.5 mile run, and an 18 mile bike race in that order
not sure of 2007 dates yet

I am so up for the Little Miami Triathlon. Do you have to compete in teams? Because Monty/Clark/Calaway/Budelsky sounds like two potential teams. And I will say that I would love to see Team Ammer.
Max and james can compete, they just can't be listed on the odds board. Go to http://www.trifind.net/nf/oh.html
there are a ton of events to embarass ourselves. Maybe if we paired Moose with James.
Is Lopez allowed to carry me?
Finally read this post. Very funny. Don't want to know how Bud came up with Calaway's 14.32 seconds.
Seriously, all of you could do the full tri with the right preparation. I couldn't have done it without Ewald hooking me up with a buddy who knows a guy who knows Floyd Landis.
Max of course did the opposite by making the event impossible. If you search for "huffman" pictures at the website you will notice something strange about his rear axle and crank. No gears, meaning the bike has no fly wheel and is essentially what we all first rode as kids, without the baseball cards in the spokes to mimic an engine (wish I hadn't done that to Don Gullett, could be worth something now), Day-glo banana seat and, if you're Moose, spangled ribbons dangling from the handlebars. essentiallyhttp://www.lepowphoto.com/mp_client/pictures.asp?action=viewphotos&search=yes&size=thumbnails&category=All%20Categories&eventid=21914
