Mark and I discussed this while running the Ironman Arizona course a couple of weeks back and then Claude helped me think through it a little more. Here goes...
What if we pick an Olympic triathlon somewhere, split into two teams, and compete in a relay. It will be just like the Texas Tri that Mark, Dennis, and I did except for EVERYONE will participate and the losing team has to buy dinner that night.
I figure Dennis and Claude are on separate teams, Jeremy and Ashley are on separate teams, and Mark and I are on separate teams. Mark and I can do the swim (we already know Mark's team will have a couple of minutes on us right there), Jeremy and Ashley can do the bike, and Claude and Dennis do the run. (We can change any of that. This is just one suggestion.)
The other thought is to split into two teams, everyone does the full triathlon (we could do a sprint or Olympic distance), and the overall best team cumulative time wins!
(By this way, this concept can work with any kind of race: running, biking, triathlon, etc.., so we could do anything and turn it into a team competition).
The thought is that we are much more likely to train when we know our team is counting on us to perform our best. It also adds a little fun and friendly competition to the weekend.
So, what do you think, men? Sound interesting?
