Silverman

Silverman??? The sound of it looks like another comic character from some superheros movies. Or could it be associated to the Silver Surfer from the Fantastatic 4? Answer is No.

This is the world's toughest full distance triathlon in North America. Some facts include 10,000 feet climbing on the 112-mile bike course, 25% (although I’ve read accounts saying it was a higher percentage) of the participants who started the race failed to reach the finish line and total climbing was 1,560 feet over the 26.2 miles run.

So what am i thinking, trying to finish this race? Firstly, this event does not come under the Ironman brand. A lot of positive and excellent reviews are given to this Silverman. Thirdly, the fact that it is one of the world's toughest (that's the whole idea of doing of an endurance event, if it is not tough, why bother?) and lastly, it is in LAS VEGAS!

I am in the planning phase for this event. SK is interested in the Half Dist, although it does not really matter to him (the Casino does..). It is set to start on 9 Nov.

For now, have to get approval from MHA first.
