This is the inaugural attempt of the Diamond Man. I hope to host an outdoor one, but due to how logistically insane that would be, an indoor format will suffice for now. For skiing, a ski erg is the indoor equivalent. For kayaking, the row machine shall be the indoor equivalent. I know that kayak ergs exist; however, this is far too rare for a gym to have, thus the row erg shall be the machine type of choice. For this format, challengers for the indoor format are allowed to complete each discipline in any order, due to needing gyms to be open at certain times. Although I don’t recommend it, each discipline can be completed outside if the challenger wishes. If a leg is completed outdoors, the beginning and ending altitude shall be within 100 feet of each other.
