Oh, great question. Here is think the order would be hardest to easiest.
For me, I suspect writing a book would be the hardest. I am a very slow reader and not a particularly good writer. I am not one of these people who can whip out a 4 page article in a day or two. I am constantly second guessing my writing. I probably should get over that as I have a number of publications, but I guess we all have our doubts.
The full marathon would probably be the next mentally. I'll have to come up with a better way of dealing with my thoughts while running...and more specifically while training not making excuses.
Building a car from scratch will be a challenge. So many decisions and knowing there are some things I will screw up and have to redo. I refuse to be one of those people who give up and sell a partially complete project. Knowing how many of these are available, I would be a fool to not think of this going into it and fighting against it.
Triathlon - Really this depends on which one I do. I don't have an interest in the Iron Man. I suspect I could do the sprint now (1/2 mi swim, 20k-bike ride and a 5k-run). I think I will do this first but I believe the olympic is more the spirit of my bucket list.
Buying an airplane will simply take some money. The bigger problem will be committing the time to make it worthwhile.
