I haven’t been writing much about triathlon lately, which I will address before long…but here is a fun article about the rise of Swim Run races.

These are not simply triathlons without the bike part. They sound like adventure activities (sort of races, but it sounds like many are more about survival and completion than winning) that may be drawing some of the tri crowd. There are many adventures we can pursue on our own, but for some of us we like the event, the day to train for, and more people alongside us…and race directors are happy to keep putting them on.
