The idea for the Tri-Decathlon was something that Annie and I came up with on in early December. We’d forever been competing in all sorts of ways - from games on the PS2 to shooting hoops at the half-court down the road - and thought it would be awesome to take it to the next level.

The Tri-Decathlon is what we came up with. Thirteen different one-on-one challenges across six different fields culminating with an epic Centurion drinking session to cap the winner. Nice.

The first challenge will kick off on the week starting ending the 24th of January and the Tri-Decathlon will finish on the 7th of March with a massive celebration party and the dreaded Centurion. If things are tied at 6-all at that stage it could be quite an event, so those lucky enough to get an invite would be silly to refuse.

Anyway, that’s about it for now. Annie and I are nutting out the specific rules for the Tri-Decathlon over the next few weeks and the official launch of its companion blog will be on the 20th of December. So stay tuned.

Farewell for now and remember that I’m a better human being than Annie and you’re going to watch me prove it.
