Follow Mark and James as they take on this exciting challenge. Can they complete a triathlon on an even smaller budget and still perform well? Watch the video to find out!

    For me coffee is something I drink because I enjoy the taste, more than because I need the caffeine. I also rarely drink coffee after 1600, so it doesn't affect my sleep much. Except for the mid ride cappuccino or espresso I rarely use it for training or competitions.

    Late to this party but as someone who is so terrible at navigating in the wilderness I am in such awe of people who can do these races. Then to do it over such a challenging course & distance is beyond amazing! Hats off to you Mark, I wouldn't try anything further than Comrades. In any event, if I tried this I would still be looking for the first check point now a year later 😂

    Caffeine is the only drug I do. I usually limit to 100mg per day, rarely have ever used during workouts. Only during long slow things (eg 10 hour walks). It upsets my stomach and makes me nervous and distracted.

    When I did my first, I bought a $15 pair of half tights for shorts, and a $20 pair of goggles, aaaand a new $1000 road bike. Hey, my previous bike was stolen so I wasn't using the $20 junker I replaced it with haha. I don't think shoes count, everyone has a pair of shoes they can run in. The registration for my first tri was $15, but I went out of town that weekend and did not do it, then I did my first tri with said purchases 8 years later.

    Well, as a swimmer only, I don't think I do any of these. However, I am lucky to have a pool where I get a lane to myself most of the time. Some times I do have to share, which in my pool means I swim on one side and the other person swims on the other side. Some times I do end up pushing off more towards the center of the lane rather than on my side. This seems to happen far more with back stroke rather than with freestyle. It seems with my back stroke flip turns, I roll over to one side or the other rather than spinning like I am on a rotisserie....

    You dont wait 12 to 18 months to change running shoes. In reality, running shoes last less than they are marketed. Daily trainers are really only good for 300 miles and nowhere even close to 12 months. You should get new running shoes every 3-4 months.
