Ironman

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I play Coed footy (f*** knows what Coed stands for but it basically means mixed sex team) and one of the girls in my team is really good. She didn't play for us last season though, turns out she was training for a Ironman - I'd heard this, but assumed an Olympic or something - and didn't want to run the risk of injury.

 

She finished in 15h 57m. That is just purely f***ing insane. Basically it's a 2.4mi swim, something like 100mi bike (it took her 8h) and then a full 26.2 marathon as icing on the 'like I haven't done enough already' cake. She's not even built like Arnie.

 

People - mates - are trying to get me to run a marathon & while I cope quite admirably with half-marathons, I see 26.2 as just too much. Let alone training twice a day for a 16 hour slog...

 

I know one of the forumites on here is training for one too, so total respect there, but I'm preserving that person's modesty/right to brag
