Epic 5 Challenge

Mankind has long sought to test the limits of human endurance with feats of conquest. Climbing Mount Everest, the Tour de France, and swimming the English Channel have all presented formidable challenges that made overcoming them notable and historic. But later this spring, from May 5th through 9th, the current standards in human endurance will be shattered as nine World-class athletes from around the world attempt to complete five full triathlons in just five days across five Hawaiian Islands. Its the inaugural EPIC5 Challenge, and its being featured exclusively here on Outside Television.

Why would anyone even try this...let alone 9 people? What goes into planning and preparing for such a rigorous challenge? Who are these athletes and what makes them tick? I will be taking you behind the scenes, inside their heads, and across the islands as 2009 ESPY Award winner Jason P. Lester leads this team of incredible athletes on an odyssey that captures the human spirit by testing the human limits. More on the Epic5 Challenge can be discovered at http://www.epic5.com.
