The Triathlon is an event designed to showcase the epitome of human strength and endurance. Arguably the most famous triathlon is the Ironman, a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run. If this sounds like a bit much to swallow, but you crave the glory of competing in a triathlon, then come out for the Ecoman, SL Triathlon's upcoming event on Etopia's eco-village.September 23rd is the date, with the start time of 11 AM, with a finish time of 1 PM. From the press release: "The swim will take place in Etopia's bay, followed by the bike portion along the island's Train Track and finishing with a run around the island on a mountain bike course. At the finish line, there are cash prizes for the top 3 men and women. (Gold medal winners receive L$300)"
