Ironman Triathlon

I love coaching ironman triathletes because they usually so much more than just an athlete, yet all of them have the drive of no other.

can some1 tell me what music this is ?

Eeeee....i think this is music from "Black Hawk Down" ...?

@JPearson1987 : The percentage of finishers is quite high. The year I participated more than 80% were finishers. The problem is the training. I guess the relation between people starting the training with the intention to became an ironman and those who really start the competition is much! lower. And: The competition itself is not that bad. The real problems are within the hours and hours of training.

This stuff is totally incredible! People as old as a
77 year old nun competing in this event. If I just had a bicycle,I would like to start training for a triathlon,and eventually qualify for the Kona.

@josephk08 No "if's" about it....get a bike

It's easier said than done. I'm currently unemployed for the time being. Who knows?Once
I am back working,or with a good tax return I can get myself a good bike.

Hear the words. I can't vs I can! get the bike man.

this is so inspiring, it really questions the limitations of humans...if there are any.

Grabba73 why don't you try a 1/2 Ironman. Then move up to the full distance.
