Hmmm, let me google who the number one swimmer, biker, and runners are...

OK, from the top of my head (without googling) I'd go with Sun Yang, Lance Armstrong, and any Kenyan runner.

I thought there was some story a while back about Lance not being able to race or something. Can't think of the reason now. I'm not sure if it is true or not.

A few years back SIlverman offered a $100,000 (?) premium to any relay that could break 8 hours.  Swimmer was an Olympian (sorry, don't remember the name), cyclist was Tyler Hamilton (apparently deep in the doping days), and the runner a Kenyan marathoner.

Tyler missed the dismount, incurring a penalty that they forced the runner to stop running for the penalty period, he took off, way too fast, and crashed and burned

To go to the World Championships?

I would pick ME for the swim...  and the bike...  and the run. 

I just really want to race in Kona.  Screw sending someone else.

Are you asking us to make a relay team of BT members?

Hey, nobody said anything about drug testing at the end of the race.

Would you really want a General Classification rider to do a 180km time trial?  How about a time trial specialist?  I am not a big cycling enthusiast, but would Cancellara be good over 180km solo?
