I caught the repeat of the documentary for last year's Ironman competition last weekend and it got me interested in the sport. A triathlon is no joke and the competitors are in amazing shape. They have extreme endurance and stamina. The following is what the next 2007 Ironman World Championship will consist of:
- 2.4 mile swim
- 112 mile bike ride
- 26.2 mile run
Talk about pushing your body to the limit! Not only do you have to be in great physical shape but you have to deal with the elements. The heat experienced on a run through the trail in Kona, Hawaii can bring a runner to their knees. I'll be looking forward to catching the next Ironman on tv.
The Ford Ironman World Championship will be taking place in Kona, Hawaii on October 13, 2007.
