“What is an Ironman Triathlon?” Thank you for the great motivational questions. I put together this quick video (w/o music) to show an example of the distance from real race & training footage, plus a few maps of well known Southern California landmarks to assist as points of reference. I hope you enjoy. If I can do my first in 2019 without any cycling or swim experience, with a recently separated shoulder, and in a tropical location… You. Can. Too. A full ironmantri is 140.6miles, and most (all, actually) sane people start with the shorter triathlon distances. Ironman Triathlons were started in San Diego, California & Honolulu, Hawaii in 1978 by a usnavy officer to “settle an argument about who was the fittest athlete. They combined three existing races into one event: the 2.4-mile Waikiki Roughwater Swim, the 112-mile Around-Oahu Bike Race, and the 26.2-mile Honolulu Marathon.” It’s a long one. #ironmantraining #whatisanironmantriathlon #ironmantriathlonmotivation #triathlon...
