The championship team of Ralphie, Harry, Prince Charming and Merlin would
like to compete in the Ferret Triathalon.  They have been training for a
long time for this grueling event, which consists of the following:
 
- 15 minutes of Graeco-Roman wrestling; no holds barred, dragging your
  opponent under the couch not allowed
         *followed by*
- 15 minutes of free-form tube races, up and down, in and out, two at a time
  time, frontwards and backwards, meet in the middle, wag tail and back out
         *followed by*
- the two-meter backwards running race (backing into corners cause for
  automatic disqualification)
All 4 contestants will signal the close of the event by assuming the classic
speed bump position.
 
This unbeatable team is well-known for their stamina, speed, bounce and
silliness.  Next winter, they will enter the ferret bobsled competition.
