I was so amped to do this about ten years ago and then life threw me a curve, my wife and I spent the money and training time on her- a better long term investment I think.

In the USA there is a close second-maybe- The Bataan Death March marathon. Usually held March-April in New Mexico at White Sands AFB. You run it through old the ranges with all the unexploded ordinance laying about. Its completely safe, they say, I was to run this four years ago but a vendor shipped a million dollars of equipment a week early and it conflicted with the race- what do you do?

Story of my life, don't even ask how many triathlons I trained for before I finished one.
