Ironman Triathlon

In 1978, the island of Hawaii became the destination of the world most incredible athletes. The Ironman Triathlon, which features a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a marathon (26.2 miles) run, tests even the toughest men and women from all over the world, and pushes them to inhumane limits.The race starts at 7 a.m. and must be finished by midnight (12 a.m.) the next day. There is no way to ever know what you will be putting your body through, because it is nearly impossible.There are Ironman Triathlons that take place all over the world as qualifiers for the world championships in Hawaii, where the champion is crowned.
