Boy I know there's a joke in there somewhere...

How about 'it never ends, but is playing on continuous loop in Badger's
room'?

My brother said 'there's a TdF Marathon, too?' LOL.

54-mile swim, 2500-mile bike ride, 585-mile run.

You can buy the huge-size HDs already preloaded for TiVo
from various sites on the web, so your ploy of getting a
castoff TiVo for dirt cheap is a pretty good one.

Hah. Cute.

I'd envision it like this:

o 0.0005681818 mile swim (*);

o 2500 mile bike ride;

o 0.001893939 mile run into team trailer; (x 19)
