Somebody somewhat famous once said, "If you look for the humor in everything, you'll find it." That has nothing to do with this blog, but I thought it was witty. I'm a brand marketer, journalist, triathlete (an Ironman, if you really want to know) and this is my blog. Insightful, funny, heartwrenching, witty, oftentimes even true. Enjoy.

People once thought that about Ironman, too. I guess. When do you start training? (ha,ha)
I did some looking online to find out a little more about it... Apparently there's another one in Mexico that is a deca triathlon - 10 X iron distance...
holy crapola. that's one heckuva 2 week vacation
I have a friend that did this a couple of years ago. It was a huge deal. A bunch of fellow tri club members jumped in a van and followed him around as his support crew. It was cold and rainy which led to hypothermia landing him in a hotel room for a hot shower and some sleep.
He got back out there but
unfortunately, he missed the cutoff time with a marathon to go.
His dedication to the training was amazing. There were times he did an Olympic distance triathlon before you and I even get to work in the morning. Hell, when you have to register for an ultra-marathon as a training run, your race is too long !
But all the power to ya :)
Extreme is just a relative term. I bet there are plenty of people that think you're own level of training is crazy too.
yeah, like my mom.
Bottom line - no matter how "extreme" you might think you are (using you as a generic term), there's always someone out there that's more "extreme" than you.
Remember, everyone's challenge level is different. This one makes sense. After you've done a few IM's, why stop there?
