Guy achieves the impossible by juggling while completing a triathlon
(CBS News) We posted a bit ago about man's dream of a slinky walking a treadmill for a really, really long time finally coming to fruition, but omitted to mention another long-time dream that has also finally come true. For that we here at The Feed apologize. So without further ado, we present to you all a man juggling while completing a full triathlon. Yeah, I know, how could we have forgotten this one? I think we just never thought it was actually possible...
The man in question is one 31-year-old Joe Salter who writes about the specifics of his amazing accomplishment:
Am I impressed? Speechless is more like it. I'm typing all of this while tears of joy stream down my cheeks at seeing this feat finally happen in my lifetime. A big triple-rainbow salute goes out to Joe Salter from all of us here at The Feed for achieving the impossible!Triathlon Juggling World Record (1st Person to Juggle while completing an entire triathlon) April 21, 2012
