Hawaii Ironman Triathlon 2011 World Championships

[innismor11]

There are a lot of non-athletes doing these too (and that's fine). If you are taking 15+ hours to finish these things, well, you're doing a lot of coasting on the downhills on the bike and a lot fo walking on the marthon "run". After a slow 2-hour swim, one can bike at 12mph and run/walk averaging 13.5 minutes/mile and get in under the 17 hour cut-off. That's just the simple math. One thing of course, if you are 82 years old, but nothing to write home about if you are young & healthy & athletic.

@innismor11 --How many Ironman races have you done. Pretty big talk

[motanelteo]

Love this Video best highlights on youtube EVER!!!! I do Ironman, it's the best sport going!! Also to the 2 people who disliked this, all I can say is get off your Fat Lazzy Arse, and do something other than dislike some that changed my life, and may others!! I was 116kgs 2 years ago, and by doing Triathlon I'm now 85kgs!! Thank You Ironman :):):):)

[imtereveparkour]

Motivation is the key to success :)

[Relaxantify]

I just decided that I will do this at some point of my life :)

[coolestdorkever22]

[Mr123pspfreak]

[ddalzell100]

[SecondBoom]

I really have to say that it is one of the best Triathlon-Videos i have ever seen :)

[GShock112]

@SecondBoom

Check immortal serenade Im video (IIRC 2008 or 2009) I think that beats this big time.

[Jeffraw31]

So much drafting....

[HKallan]

Excellent. 

[HKallan]

@HKallan in the description at the bottom. :)

[PrevelantPredators]

[oxman0313]

[afarahnik]

[sandman553]

The person who disliked this video is probably a lazy fat ass

[DestroyTheseWalls]

im a bad swmmer :(

[TeeeProductions]

What's the song called, any help ?

[FireF33]

@TeeeProductions Hans Zimmer- Inception soundtrack Song- (We plants are Happy)

[TeeeProductions]

Really good video, truly inspirationaly :)

[AnthonyNelsonChen]

This video was better than the NBC production.

[taugen]

Swim, bike, run, and brag. It's just that simple. When you have done it, then you understand.

[taugen]

M-dot FOREVER!!

[MrGreekthai]

I have this always play when i study ! Maybe it sounds weird but it motivates me , i say to myself that i can do everything if this people can do this , really inspirational !

[YoSoyJesus]

It never ceases to amaze me what the human body can do with a little natural talent and a lot of determination and hard work

[caribeaansportsCUR]

this is pure motivation and i am only 14 years old <3

[MyArchie17]

is this just for athletes or can us normal people compete and sill recieve the respect and medals

[barchetta575m]

@MyArchie17 Anyone can compete! You simply need to have the motivation to work hard to get there. You will receive the respect of being an 'Ironman'! And yes, you also get a medal! So start working hard!

[MyArchie17]

@barchetta575m soo everyone receives the respect and medals and credibility if completed under the 17 hours ??

[barchetta575m]

@MyArchie17 Yes. And if you can beat Craig Alexander (2008, 2009, 2011 World Champion) to first place, you also receive $120,000 in prize money. So, begin training to qualify! (You qualify by competing in another Ironman distance race and performing well in it according to your age group) Goodluck!

[chowychow]

Feel so pumped aft watching it. Sadly my swimming is shit :(

[mrmarathon21]

After watching this , I want to do one of these so badly ! Just to prove to myself that I can !

[ytu59]

Thanks TriAddict! I went to youtube and did a search under "triathlon" - this was the first video I clicked on and was mesmerized from start to end. The combination of the music and video footage was very powerful indeed and exactly the inspiration I was looking for, well done!

[ADuckOnQuack97]

im 14 and when im 18 my dads 55 birthday present which is october 12 we're going to qualify and go to the world championships..

[WhatThePresidentSays]

0:9 lol floating car, what if someone towed that to their boat and got away

[okolnost]

3:05 this is just one more reason for me to love endurance sports - a guy cheering his opponent (well, of course that most probably there might be time difference like two hours between them but nevertheless - where else you can see such sportsmanship?)

[hbazioq]

what is the sound track called?

[legend2memba]

@hbazioq It's an inception movie soundtrack.

[alco48]

Andreas Raelert!!!

[caribeaansportsCUR]

RESPECT

[MrSportLuva]

I have the biggest respect for triathletes! They are truly the hardest working athletes, I don't care what sport you perform in. Triathletes have it the toughest!

[lhequatro]

best motivation 

[MrTomclarks]

Wow thanks. That was the best highlights ive seen so far on youtube.

[wawaski]

Too cool.....

[vinesen1]

There are some sports like cycling and triathlon that you can't watch without feeling the urge to do it yourself afterwards.

[cogle]

@vinesen1 That's what let me to my first IRONMAN - "You Will Do This" at the end of the Kona video. :)

[elinfiernoentusojos]

@vinesen1 right now going to the gym and pool..

[soldierside365]

@vinesen1

I know, i bought one copy of a triathlon magazine, and i cant get this out of my head..

[AxXHTTP]

[mlachance001]

Believe in what you are make you do beatiful things , Reward you for your Gratitude, Invention of true minded people just gave birth to that kind of event. Life it one day. If you forget it its because youve past away ... Ironman is a Postiveness Of the Mind and how far you can achieve this goal of sucess.

[adgaba]
