Biff Mitchell in triathalon

Biff Mitchell is one of the most talented and entertaining writers alive. No joke. Check out his novels Heavy Load, The War Bug, and Team Player if you think I'm exaggerating. But not only is he gifted, he's also a crazy fucker.

Seriously.

If you don't believe me, please check out his website to get the full details of the triathalon he'll be competing in this weekend. As part of the sequel to The War Bug, one of the characters competes in a triathalon against a sentient software personality. And Biff figured he'd better get the details right. So on Sunday, July 10th, he'll be running, biking, and swimming in the Duncan Hadley Triathalon at Killarney Lake.

And, then, hopefully, when he survives that, he'll be finishing the book.

For full details, he's been keeping a daily blog about his training, and that can be found right here: Biff's blog.

So, good luck, Biff. I admire the hell out of you, and wish you great luck (and speed and endurance)!

You crazy fucker, you!
