U absolutely can train for that in the winter as I live in the cold northeast. MOST triathlons are held in the end of summer so the water is warmer. See if there are places you can train for swimming. I run outside in the winter but mostly it's on the treadmill during the winter.

I think the Olympia should had the Olympians do a barbell curl contest or Bench press...didn't they have that at the Arnold or Mr. O and Jeremy Freeman won?

Yes, at the Goodrum family reunion.  Vince insists on it.  And he loses.

I donno, I remember seeing some war games shit when I was a kid and it seemed ultra gear. They had to swim 1km run 2 km, than set up for a war games or whatever. All while carrying a 60 pound pack. They said up a camp/base.

I guess it was probaly just basic military training but it seems like it would be a wicked sport.
