Chris Newport and her teammate Josh, both experienced triathletes, decided to try their hands at a new multisport event: SwimRun. In fact, since their bikes were going to be left at home, and Josh is a big Beatles fan, we named our team “While Our Bikes Gently Weep.”

SwimRun is a newer multisport event, starting in 2002 after “4 drunk Swedes” challenged each other. Learn more about the history here. SwimRun is done by teams of two people, where they complete multiple segments of swimming and running, often with various levels of difficulty.
