I think I have a very good video idea for you guys. You should do a reverse triathlon challenge. Beginning with run and son on… could be Olympic or fast triathlon for the distances. Ready?

Just a brilliant video. More like this! Come to Scotland! So nice to be reminded that triathlon isn’t just about racing or perfecting this or that/high elbow/shaving two seconds off transition etc but that it trains you to be able to do epic adventures like this. (Who needs swimming anyway) Gorgeous photography. Well done all round. :))

Its great to see how 2 ex pros can do something that makes them just as tired as a good long (much more modest) race or session can make us age groupers feel. Well done guys. Great video.

Hi, You know Heather, she done the Swimrun Från Ö till Ö in Sweden 🇸🇪. I think Mark and James could choose between.. 1) Laponia triathlon , one Ironman distance up in Gällivare , the most northern triathlon. You actually got a good chance to win the race. It start at midnight. Magical :) Cold yes, elevation yes. Not as tough as Norseman but tough. 2) Höga Kusten Winter trail . Running in the snow. A lot of elevation. It would be nice to see you here… // Marie-Louise

Check out the Dragon Duathlon. Similar kind of thing with the 3 peaks but slightly different route. It's s coast to coast as well so has another bike either end at the start and finish. Easily the best event I've done.

Great video guys, well done. On the longest day in 1991 we did the National three peaks in the same way. Starting in Sheffield, cycled to Snowdon, ran up and down it. Then Cycled to Scafell pike, ran up and down that. The last stage was cycle to Ben Nevis and finishing at the top of Ben Nevis. A team of 10 completed this in a relay to raise funds for Killingbeck Hospital. Started on morning of 21st June around 560 miles in total. Cycling was with two on the road at any one time and then two running up and down Snowdon and all of doing Ben Nevis. #challengeGTN I’ve got photos if you want 🚴🏽♂️🏃😎

As for recommendation to normal folks I guessed just one mountain at a time in a day is more than good enough while chilling with your friends unless you happened to have a bunch of ultra athletics friends 😅

If you are confident in your mountain climbing skills, might I recommend the Longs peak Triathlon in Boulder. 38 mile ride uphill, 7 mile run up a 14,000' mountain, a rope climb up the face of the mountain and then a run and ride back down. It sounds easy compared to this, but the air is thinner and you would have to learn rock climbing.

I'm curious what the calorie estimate from your watches was for each section and the total. You could also do a split of the mountain ranges in Scotland. Maybe highest North of the Great Glen (Carn Eige), Highest South of the Great Glen (Ben Nevis) and the highest not in the highlands (Merrick). Swim and bike opportunities that way.
