Here’s the idea. Go have a miserable time, and then tell us all about it. Cool, eh? Or, if you have already had a terrible trip, let us know. The whole point of it is to make people say in their heads “boy, I’m sure glad that didn’t happen to me. It sure is entertaining hearing it happen to someone else, though.”
There will be prizes for the winners. Just be sure to categorize your posting into the “Worse Trip Ever” Comp. category upon submission.

Last night I caught the I-need-to-get-out-of-the-house-or-I’m-going-to-go-crazy bug. I called up a few people that i know who like to climb but i couldn’t find anyone who was willing to belay me…uh…I mean, climb with me. So I decided to embark on a spontaneous, home-made triathlon. I started from my apartment and biked three miles to the Quarry Climbing Gym. Once there I warmed up, worked on a V4 in the bouldering room followed by a V5 and then another V4. I then biked the three miles back to my apartment and grabbed my goggles (I meant to bring them with.) After getting those, I biked the 207,990.21 centimeters (I love Google Earth) to the BYU pool and swam a mile (33 laps.) Also, keep in mind that this is the first time I have accomplished such a feat. Once I completed that highlight of my nascent swimming career, I biked the 207,990.21 centimeters (1.29 miles) back to my apartment and I was victorious (placed first overall.)
I don’t know how long it took me to do (I’m not sure if I want to know) but it was my first home-made triathlon. It was a blast. Have you done any sort of creative triathlon? Let me know.
