It's all part of the Tri Girls evil plan to make us Mere Mortals spend more time in here so that we catch some of their infectious enthusiasm. They want us sitting in front of our computers thinking:
Hmmm... I could swim 1500m... I'm sure I could do it without a rest in the middle if I trained for it rather than just going down to the pool from time to time... I could probably even do it in a decent time if I had some coaching to work on my form... I know I could ride 40km, 'specially if I had a shiny, svelte little road bike (preferably in go-faster red or stealthy black)... I hate running quite passionately, but I suppose I could learn to run 10km if I worked really hard...
The Tri Girls seed of insanity (the good kind) is resolutely planted, and eventually, said Mere Mortal takes herself off for a 20/25-odd minute run around the docks (or other handy course of three-and-a-bit kilometres/just over two miles). Mere Mortal is astonished to find that she could not only run the whole way, but could probably have run further. Even more gob-smacking is the fact that, whilst not fun per se, Mere Mortal found the experience to be somewhat enjoyable - albeit in a masochistic way - and something she is not uninterested in repeating.

Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.
