One of the burliest picnics yet!! Pioneered by mutants Jason Hardrath and Ryan Tetz.
Yosemite Picnic break down:
Bike 43.5 miles with 6,500′ gain from El Capitan (bridge) to Tenaya Lake
Swim the 1.1 mile length of Tenaya Lake
Run + Hard Scramble the 10.7 mile Tuolumne Triple Crown (Tenaya, Matthes Crest, Cathedral) with 5.6-5.7yds difficulty and 5,200′ gain
Swim 1.1 mi back across the length of Tenaya Lake (likely into a headwind)
Bike the 44.5 miles back down to El Capitan (bridge) still with 2,400′ of gain (but a whole lotta down).

Yosemite Climbing Legend Hans Florine, upon hearing of the feat, exclaimed, “D*mn, why didn’t I think of that!”
This is on my list; it’s also quite intimidating.
