{"id":6,"count":4,"description":"<h2>Self-Made Multi-Sport Adventures<\/h2>\r\nMy background in triathlon has set the stage for my enjoyment of multi-sport adventures. When ultra running became very popular, I tried my hand at the sport but found that I didn\u2019t enjoy running for that length of time like I thought I \u2018should\u2019 and my waning interest in competition left me without many events to train for.\r\n\r\nI realised that I was more interested in solo or small group self-made expeditions, often involving two or three of the sports in triathlon. Since I love crossing lakes and swimming rivers, and with few to no events involving swims that take as long or longer than the riding and running, I began making 3-4 day triathlons, often combined with camping.\r\n\r\nA self-made triathlon can be a river or lake swim on one day, a backcountry mountain bike ride for a few days and a mountain run or fast pack for another day or two.\r\n\r\nSometimes it\u2019ll be a swim first followed by a cycle tour. Sometimes it\u2019ll be a swim\/run, and other times cycling and running without a swim.\r\n\r\nThe trail and hut network in New Zealand and the plethora of beautiful lakes, rivers and ocean swimming venues make it possible for an almost never-ending selection of adventures to choose from for many years to come.","link":"https:\/\/adventuresoutsidethelanes.com\/category\/self-made-multi-sport-adventures\/","name":"Self-Made Multi-Sport
