Essence of Ironman

Held every fall in the US city of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, the Ford Ironman World Championship encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (ocean) swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride (across the Hawaiian lava desert), finishing with a 26.2 mile marathon along the coast.

Before an athlete makes it to the championship, however, a spot must be won through one of the qualifying events which take place annually around the world.

Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events are held in various locations in Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Canary Islands, South Africa and Europe.

I read somewhere that when u explain to ppl what triathlon is...77% of them will say ur crazy to do it....and the longer the distance eg ironman the crazier they think you are......!!

I think anyone who does this is an elite athlete. They should be called professionals.

@palmerleggings There are a few ways to qualify, and you don't necessarily have to be an elite athlete to enter.
