How about that sensational sibling show in Great Britain last weekend? No, not the Williams sisters at Wimbledon — the Bents at the Bog Snorkelling Triathlon in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales. Dan Bent won the men’s division in a record 2 hours, 21 minutes, 5 seconds, while sister Natalie won the women’s side in 3:11.55. The event consists of a 7 1/2-mile run, two passes through a 135-foot long, 6-foot- deep bog and a 19-mile bike race through demanding mountain terrain. “It is really, really tough, but I love that stuff,” Dan told the London Telegraph. “There is nothing wrong with a bit of pain.” The Seattle Times; Getty Images
