Line 379:
* Few runners can hope to ever reach the level of winning a marathon, but many set themselves the goal of simply completing one.
* Cyclists consider completing a century ride their equivalent of running a marathon. It involves biking at least 100 miles in one ride. Even though this has gotten easier with modern low weight, quite comfortable carbon fiber bikes, it's still a daunting enough challenge that most large bike manufacturers release models specially designed for these kinds of rides.
* Firearms historian Ian McCollum of [[Forgotten Weapons]] has competed in shooting matches using a variety of antique firearms (a typical competitor in these matches has a modern firearm, often with accessories that cost more than the gun itself). He warns this will not be fun to attempt if you aren't a skilled shooter already.
