Now how's this for a cool idea...

 Take Survivor and throw a Tri spin on it. Take 40 average athletes and put through several weeks of challenges to see who can train for an Ironman. Then the top 6 or so compete against each other at an Ironman event for a huge $$$$ pot.

Call it the "Joe Average IRON man show", hosted by someone cool like Lance or Robin Williams...or that famous guy JeepFleeb I heard on Triathlon radio. :-)

Geez am I good or what? What a great unoriginal idea!

:-)

Could you imagine the drama of them all living in the same house?  I can only imagine what that would be like.  I would definitely watch it!

I've got that covered we put them all in a large Barn up in the mountains of BC, Canada...

Challenge #1, Team Time Trial up Richter Pass (the first major climb of IMCA) The first team to have a member puke is out automatically.

The winners get to choose their bikes for the rest of the show. Either Trek's or Cervelo's. Think of the sponsors mugging for air time! The losers get Tricycle's made by Matel.

I think Degree tried this with their "Everyday Ironman". They were going to make it a show following the athletes train and race in Kona. Pretty much nobody other than the athlete's mothers wanted to see it

Downstate maybe, most of the upstaters I've met are pretty level headed. 

But I'm from the Boston area. Somerville to be precise.

Doesn't make you any faster. On any course. Wink

C'mon down, I'll drop you like a lead weight we'll ride on the flats that you seem to think are such an advantage.

If y'all are going anyway, maybe I can audition for the stock "Bible-toting character" slot.  "Three items I can't live without?  Um, I guess I'd have to say a a decent sports bra, good lube, and my Bible of course."

Oh, wait, that person always gets booted first -- rats!  Well, it will be fun while it lasts.

Never thought I'd see "good lube, and my Bible of course" together in a sentence...
