In 1978, U.S. Naval Commander John Collins and his wife Judy issued a challenge. They proposed combining Oahu’s 2.4 mile swim race, 112 mile bike race, and 26.2 mile marathon. On February 18, 1978 fifteen competitors, including Collins, traveled to Waikiki to take on the first-ever IRONMAN challenge.
'Swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles - BRAG FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. " - John Collins, IRONMAN Founder
IRONMAN is more than the world's most challenging endurance event, IRONMAN is a lifestyle.

while tour rider can easily change bike....why a pro ironman race cant have this kind of support. Idiot rules! soo backward. plain stupid to see this kind of rules
For such a long race there is 8min of highlights. I guess that means there wasn't much excitement! You'll never know watching this because there is zero commentary as well. Very sad effort
Having seen some of the other recaps with commentary, I actually liked it. Hearing the motorbikes, helicopters, crowds etc felt like you were in the moment of it all.
Solid footage. Still miss the network recap with The Texas Crew videography. Slow-mo canon fire, underwater start line shots and the legendary landscapes cannot, nor should not be forgotten.
I think it’s interesting what Lionel says about these Kona Camps . Waste of money because no one who’s done them races better and if fact they all claim their worst races after these camps.
She's a professional athlete and one of the best Ironman and half Ironman distance racers in the world who is racing in the Ironman World Championship for a win. Let the professional do her job in the best way she sees fit and stop second-guessing her from your couch.
i think you can close roads but you cant disallow people to go outside. what happened was that they all knew that there is a race but they went outside on the street. (german press info)
