Well, I think anything that involves even the slightest amount of swimming in a timed event is very, very difficult.

BF and I have this competition going- he's done a couple Ironmans, but I say, well, you have only run a marathon, and I've run 50k, so I've got you beat. You've only gone 114 miles on your bike, but I've gone 125! (I seriously know his effort is _much_ more than mine for the total event, though.) I was telling him a couple nights ago- if I go 300k, that he will _never_ beat that, and that it will even beat the whole Ironman!

I'm nervous about the distance, but am hoping that it won't be as big a jump from 200k to 300k as it was from, say, 25 miles to 100 miles. That's my plan/hope/theory, anyway. And I have the benefit of knowing how tough I am in terms of not giving up/completing my goal/taking little chunks of the distance at one time instead of freaking out about the sum.
