Re: double decathalon
Icosathlon would be over four days (pent 1, deca 2, ... iso 4). Here, the even is doubled each day.
I did comment on this somewhere. His decathlon subset is actually a pretty decent score of about 7700, I think. This guy was a walk-on at Wisconsin and did not do his first multis until probably his junior year -- then was fourth indoors NCAA (setting a Hept record in the 1000 at 2:29--since broken by Beach, I think) and second outdoors where he past a number of guys with a 4:04, which he says he ran conservatively going out 'slow' (upper-60s for the first third or more?) because he wanted to beat some guys to get second and thinks he might have gone under 4:00.
