Organisers of this year’s Wales Ironman competition have announced a new category that will put men’s endurance to the test - sitting through a hen do in Merthyr.
Lads will have to sit through seven straight hours of bad karaoke and incessant screeching to be in with a chance of winning this year's title.
Organisers told WalesOnCraic:
“We like to push the boundaries of what the human body can endure. We’ve put men in water and asked them to swim; we’ve put them on bikes and told them to pedal; we’ve even then given them some daps and told them to run a marathon. But this year, we’re upping the ante and looking to sort the men from the boys.
“Our participants will now have to sit through seven hours of a hen do in Merthyr. They won’t be allowed to call for help, they can only visit the bathroom once every two hours, and they won’t be allowed to go on their phones. Instead, they’ll have to sit through seven hours of bad karaoke and incessant screeching to see if they really are as tough as they say they are.”
Ironman contestant Mike Blister told WalesOnCraic:
“I’m not sure if this is a step too far. I accidentally found myself in a hen do when I was on a night out in Cardiff and I came away feeling used and dirty. We’ll have to see how we can cope with this new category. I fear it might just be too hard to put myself through.”
Organisers have stocked up on inflatable cocks ahead of this year’s competition.
“We’ve got loads of inflatable cocks,” said one organiser.
