Keep in mind that ISF (International Swuggling Federation) rules require you to use balls that sink to make it more interesting.

Joe, I really think you should follow through on the triathlon juggling idea. If you can pull it off even in a sprint triathlon I think there’s a good chance you could get significant media coverage and some great publicity out of it. That or target shooting while juggling.

Swuggling… the sport of the future! Survival of the swuggliest.

I like the idea of joggling backwards–That sounds like fun.
Swuggling sounds insanely difficult–I want to see how that’s done.

@ Matt: lol.

I might just have to do it some day soon. When it warms up a bit, I’m going to hit the beach and work on the swuggling.

Yeah, there is that risk. And then there is the risk of crashing on the bike. These 2 reasons are why I think the joggling triathlon is the most impressive / dangerous.

Another thought, isn’t juggling while swimming an effective way to drown?

Personally, I still think joggling a 5K is quite tough. I think for us non jugglers (or poor jugglers) regular joggling is a miraculous feat.

I think some guy should get up one day and joggle 26.2 miles without planning to, around Chicago on a rainy day. Wait, apparently that’s already in motion.

Yeah, I mainly was thinking of a flat course like one at Pensacola Beach, FL for the biking which is all straight and flat bike paths. The swuggling is much easier than the others! I could train for 2 months and do the tri joggling with a decent time… it would take much longer to train for the rest. Been to the Great Wall, it’s no easy walk. Across the U.S., that’s tough. same with 100 miler and backwards marathon.

The average person will want to see the tri done more, because it has the “apple and chainsaw appeal.” And, it’s tough too.

Good point about the difference.

Easiest? I don’t see triathlon as the easiest.

I’ve tried juggling while swimming and that is not easy. Floating on back and juggling up works but you take in a lot of water up the nose. (Guess I should use nose plugs.

And the biking while juggling would be pretty easy on the straight-aways but imagine trying to go up steep hills, make turns, and…stop.
