Tri It in the Nude

As the heatwave continues to cripple the South, this weekend certainly doesn't seem like it will be ideal for a triathlon. But might you be willing to competitively run, bike, and swim this Saturday, if you can do it in your birthday suit?

If your answer is yes, consider signing up for the Bare Hare Sprint Triathlon. The event taking place on August 11 at the Bar-S-Ranch Nudist Resort in Reidsville, N.C., near Greensboro, is claiming to be the country's first clothing optional triathlon. The sprint distance race will feature a 500M lake swim, a 20K mountain bike ride (talk about saddle sore!), and a 5K trail run. The race is open to anyone over the age of 18. Sorry curious high-schoolers.

I for one like the idea of a race where you can really let it all hang out. But for crying out loud, go with SPF 30+ on the places where the sun doesn't usually shine!
