Eric Although George and I disagree on some things from time to time and on a few things al the time, I assure you he dresses in whatever it takes to get the job done. If lipstick was required to push another 1000 feet or to find another dozen lobsters while flying on a DPV he would pay that price. However as lipstick is not required he uses just plain good gear combined with skill and logic to go where he pleases. The techathalon sounds challenging but if it is to be a tech rather than a cave event the events should be modified. It would be fun to have a physcial and mental toughness event to compete in as techdivers. I think a lot of folks on the net would participate. Dan V. why don't we all get together for real and develop a competition event that will be safe but measure fitness, skill level and mental toughness. I would compete in the seniors class gladly and most likely with the jrs. as well. I know George would be there also. IANTD has just started a Apnea course that is conducted through Pippin maybe we could include that as well. tom You wrote: > >Hi Dan: > >Has the time arrived for the first TECHATHALON? > >Course legs: > >1) 1km surface swim with fins of choice. > >2) 1 km jungle hike with full cave gear at race-walk pace. > >3) 2km upstream multi-reel line lay. > >in lieu of C cards, techathalon diving catagories could then be assigned >based on experience and performance--just like freds vs. the USCF. > >BTW you said george was dressed in "maximum drag" for ocean dives.
