Have a look at this movie clip from 1933. Looks like they did the run, then the bike ride, then an obstacle course and finally the swim. Awesome transition times. smiley

How interesting! The clothes they wore even...  seems like some of it was similar to a military obstacle type course..

Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with what you have left.
