Lifting weights doesn't help your run or bike, You'll gain muscle doing all three disciplines. To become a better swimmer, you need to swim. To become a better runner, you need to run. To become a better cyclist you need to go on rides. If your trying to become a better Triathlete, then stop trying to become a better bench presser or dead lifter or arm curler.
pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain yaaa pain how much can u take i can take more im better than youuuuuu BOW DOWN TO ME IM URE MASTER URE NO WERE NEAR AS GD AS ME CAUSE I CAN TAKE PAIN U CANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats how it is but normal loosers are like ughh nty i wana be happy hee hee SCUM!!!!!
Signed up for bolton 2012, yet to learn to swim so shall be interesting. Not going to train for the bike or run although ive looked on the website and seen its a hilly one so should be tough.
@TheAkwardBrand Lose 60 pounds and stop lifting weights. It took me 4 years and 30 sprint/olympic distances to realize what it really takes to reach that level. Also get a coach. You will never be able to comprehend what it takes to swim 2.4 mi, bike 112, and run a full marathon without one. Good luck man. Ill see you there. (i was 260 as a hs senior and now after four years and 70 pounds lost, I'm about a year away from my iron man dreams)
@nggomez60 Why stop lifting weights? Isn't lifting weights helping to build more (for example upper body) muscle, which makes you swim faster? And how do you get a coach? I'm 16 & would love to do a triathlon when I am 18.
@Yapiej All the elites in this sport lifts weights as well as run, bike and swim. However they do those three things a lot more often than weight lifting.
I leave in two days to Kona for the Ironman World Championship to compete in my first ever Ironman. I've watched this video probably 500 times over the past 6 months and I get chills everytime!
Ever seeing Julie Moss cross the finish line so many year ago, I've always wanted to compete in the HIM. I've done some sprint distance races and hope I'll be ready before I turn 50. I'll be happy to just complete the HIM.
Great to see young people having a goal. Keep it up!
@pameladizon19 I dream of winning it! I ran my first marathon last year at the age of 21. I ran it on 2 hours and 58 min. I figure that 10 years from now I might have a shot at it!
this is something that you have to do for yourself. It takes mostly mental strength to do something like this!!! Sometimes I wonder if I could something like that, if this would b my thing. Last week I saw a new movie, “Discover the Gift”, which talks about being true to yourself and do whatever you do best giving 100% all the time. I loved it! facebook. com/discoverthegift
Somebody asked me why I do this. I responded with: I get joy from people like you being curious. I don't need to be curious anymore. I answered the curiosity with a 50lb sledgehammer and a ton of WILL and never quit attitude.
Then they asked my what it took. I said, picture yourself with your arm in a trap but you want to get home because it will save someone you love. What would you do to get out? That level of desire and commitment is what it takes.
Guys, seriously, just leave cosg9531 alone. He is in fantastic physical condition and retired at 30, all without having any goals to define him. JK, sorry, I don't buy that for a second. More like 21, recently laid off, and rotting in his mom's basement. Just ignore him, guys, and remember: "Don't feed the trolls." :D
Of course it hurts.... that's why we do it. To see if you can push through the pain, push through the desire to quit, and come out on the other side. Everyone, no matter what level they're competing at, WANTS to quit at some point during the day. The key to becoming an IRONMAN is to overcome the mental and physical obstacles to finish.
cosg9531 your choice. For those who want to be better today than they were yesterday our choice. IMWI2010 finisher, by far the best day I have ever had! I did it and I will do more...
@thefitnessbuddy I'm in fantastic physical condition. I retired at 30 after I sold my company. My wife is a dead-ringer for the actress Barbara Rush when she was in her thirties. Must be doing something right.
@cosg9531 you can ask everyone that has done an Ironman, if during the race they have suffer, you know the answer, but the joy at the finish line is a greater power, what i mean is that sometimes in life you will sacrifice to get things in life, but what is at the finish line is worthy the sacrifice
I don't care to inspire anyone. I don't want to exert myself unneccesarily. I don't need any pointless goals to define myself. And I sure as flying fuck do not want to do this.
I want to do this one day. You need a courage, dedication, lots of time to kill yourself with the hard training, just to wake up stronger the next day and kill yourself again with exercises, but I love it and I think this will lead me to my goal ;)
And yes, you need to be crazy as well, to sacrifise yourself so much, to do it ;)
Did IM Louisville in 2009. Hardest day of my life, but definitely the most rewarding. I am an IRONMAN.
Since then I've started a new job, my wife had a baby, and training is the last thing on my mind. Signed up for IRONMAN Texas. I haven't found the motivation to start training again. Watching this video again is all it took-- training day 1 starts now. Hooyah.
I will not only do this, I will finish this. Even if it takes me 17 hours!
The best thing about Ironman to me is the people, everybody is enthusiastic, friendly and focused. It's addictive to be around Ironmen and women. They are so humble even though they achieved the hardest race man could think of! Ironman 2011 here I come!!!
The race isn't so bad..it's the year off training...that sucks..lol...great to be an Ironman...but not something I dwell on much...even after 3...you kinda move on...but it was fun to do ...I now prefer to train on things that I don't "have" to train everyday for...
Yes, IM is difficult for anyone to endure. But if anyone does IM to "Brag for the rest of their life"(as the video states in the beginning). Find another sport for glory. IM is for "You". If you want to complete an IM for any other person or any other reason- stay in bed. The desire and passion has to come from within. Then train continuously to test your limits of suffering mentally and physically. Walk to the water with butterflies in your stomach, tread water and wait for the gun.
@HenryAndCharles So spend the most time you can working on speed. Endurance is easy, just put in the time. Get fast now while your young. Then you will have it for ever, just waiting to be turned on. Endurance, you can rebuild that in a year or so. I can't wait to see your name first in the list of Kona finishers in the 2020 Ironman championship.
if you want to do it go for it, it will change your life. I've done it 5 times so far, going for my 6th at IM Wales next year, racing with my 18 year old daughter who has dreamt of completing it after seeing my first race in France 6 years ago. We can't wait to cross the line together on11 Sept 2011 - bring it on! :-)
@skiyewtah it does hurt... and you will sweat and stink, and you will be both too hot and cold on the same day; you will wonder "why" (even though you already know) and the "white noise" in your head will be drive you insane. You will be both sun/wind burned... you will be fussy/cranky and nervous and afraid. But then the "joy" comes... and you will be everything you ever wanted to be, and people you don't know will cheer for you, people you don't know will hug you... DO "IT" and live forever.
@skiyewtah You will need the willingness to sacrifice anything that gets in the way of your goals and an obsessive dedication boarding on mental illness. Remember at all times that limits exist only in your mind. When I started training for Ironman I told myself that I would slowdown if I had to but I would never quit. If you can tell yourself that with complete honesty then I think that your completion will be inevitable. Good luck.
Tattooed my Ironman Participant bracelet and my "mdot" on the inside of my right wrist. When I shake hands people see it! When they put that bracelet on at the expo, it really hits! Your like damn! Im doing this! When you see the bright light of the finish line about a 1/4 mile out (I finished in the dark) and the roar of the crowd. Let me tell you, all the pain disappears for that whole finishing stretch. It was more amazing than I ever imagined. IRONMAN FOR LIFE!
It truly is one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Seeing that finish line just pumps you up and the crowds are there to cheer for everyone! One woman who raced in Louisville this year was 315 pounds 2 years ago. Race day she was 160 pounds. There was also an 80 year old doing his 30-something Ironman. Anyone can do it. You just need to put the work in.
@campbpar its got nothing to do with what colour you are, if anyone is man enough to finish this race then they earn the right to brag for the rest of thier life regardless what colour they are. and how exactly is this a whitemans sport?
Everybody should stop saying they want to do an IM and sign up! I'm 18 and am registered for IM Lake Placid next summer. I'm doing my first 70.3 on Sunday.
Fancy job titles can be taken away from you in a downsizing. Luxury cars can be reposessed. Your dream home can be foreclosed and taken away from you. But if you complete an Ironman, no one - and I mean NO ONE - can take that away from you. You will be an Ironman for life.
@tambriz1972 oh come on... Personally, I'd rather have an amazing job, cars and home with the unlikely possibility that they could be taken from me than run a race once. But each to their own, of course.
@gibbonexchange Seems like you missed the point... in the end all we really have are our stories/memories: People that "step-up" to THIS challenge are different; and put their lives on hold- to train hours a day, weeks and months on end... all in the hopes of racing or just finishing THIS. It's really about you against the distance... you against time. Look around friend! WALES, ROTH, ZURICH all represent here... and as you jeer our conviction/devotion... know that we jeer your lack of.
@Azhiim361 No, use what ever bike you want, as long as its safe. Those "alternative" bike you call them, are more aerodynamic, because of the riders "tucked" position. You cannot ride close to others, because drafting is against the rules, so the special Tri bikes they call them are faster. But that's all, faster. I know many finishers that used a plain rode bike, and still finished under 13 hours.
@RB902050 You have no idea what you are talking about. Even the pros say that this is one of the most difficult feats of endurance on the planet. It is by no means easy...and should NEVER be compared to a piddly little 5K!! You are a FOOL! You wouldn't make it past the 2nd buoy before you were screaming for the kayaks you idiot!

One woman who raced in Louisville this year was 315 pounds 2 years ago. Race day she was 160 pounds. There was also an 80 year old doing his 30-something Ironman. Anyone can do it. You just need to put the work in.

Fancy job titles can be taken away from you in a downsizing. Luxury cars can be reposessed. Your dream home can be foreclosed and taken away from you. But if you complete an Ironman, no one - and I mean NO ONE - can take that away from you. You will be an Ironman for life.
I WILL do this.

@tambriz1972 oh come on... Personally, I'd rather have an amazing job, cars and home with the unlikely possibility that they could be taken from me than run a race once. But each to their own, of course.

@gibbonexchange Seems like you missed the point... in the end all we really have are our stories/memories: People that "step-up" to THIS challenge are different; and put their lives on hold- to train hours a day, weeks and months on end... all in the hopes of racing or just finishing THIS. It's really about you against the distance... you against time. Look around friend! WALES, ROTH, ZURICH all represent here... and as you jeer our conviction/devotion... know that we jeer your lack of.

is there a rule where we can no longer use 'racing road bikes' and we have to use an 'alternative road bike' instead?
Azhiim361 1 year ago
@Azhiim361 No, use what ever bike you want, as long as its safe. Those "alternative" bike you call them, are more aerodynamic, because of the riders "tucked" position. You cannot ride close to others, because drafting is against the rules, so the special Tri bikes they call them are faster. But that's all, faster. I know many finishers that used a plain rode bike, and still finished under 13 hours.

People that participate in these are nuts. Do a sport that's fun like downhill skiing and useful like tournament jujitsu.

@RB902050 You have no idea what you are talking about. Even the pros say that this is one of the most difficult feats of endurance on the planet. It is by no means easy...and should NEVER be compared to a piddly little 5K!! You are a FOOL! You wouldn't make it past the 2nd buoy before you were screaming for the kayaks you idiot!
