So, there’s stuff like 24 hour mtb racing, and then there’s stuff like Iron Man. Iron man impresses me. People talk about having done an Iron Man.
This guy at work hasn’t simply done an Iron Man – he does Iron Mans, regularly. It’s just an enjoyable day out for him.
He’s thinking of jacking it in next year and doing ultramarathon, he might try Marathon des Sables.. wow, I’m really impressed now.
However then he proceeds to tell me about his crazy mates (now I’m wondering what it takes to make this man think you’re crazy). They do this thing called Deca-Iron Man. That’s right, TEN IRON MANS back to back…
But it gets worse. Every other year they aggregate the legs, so you do ten swims, ten bikes and ten runs. So that’s a 38km swim, 1,800km bike ride and 422km run!
You’d think it’d not be possible to make this any more insane, but this is the icing on the cake. It’s done in a 50m pool and a 1.2km track!
