video - Norseman Extreme Triathlon
(video below)
Welcome to the hardest Ironman-length triathlon I've ever heard about.
Ironman, not to be confused with Iron Man, is a LONG triathlon race. The distances are standardized, and races are held around the world, with the most famous being the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.
- 2.4 mile Swim
- 112 mile Bike
- 26.2 mile Run
- 140.6 Total Miles - when you see a 140.6 sticker on somebody's car, it means they've done more in 12 hours than most of us have done in 12 months!
The Norseman Extreme Triathlon makes a regular Ironman look pedestrian. In fact, I'd pick these Norsemen (and women) against Iron Man..! Check out this video:
These guys are Viking Warriors - absolutely amazing! Mentally and physically tough as nails.
Couple of thoughts
- Health and Fitness - let's not confuse good health with a crazy desire to get hypothermia and/or run up a mountain. Eat right, exercise, focus on general health. If you want to set your sights on something bigger, there are plenty of shorter length triathlons to get you started - google "sprint triathlons" in your area for more information.
- Motivation - remember this video as motivation for days when you're not feeling 100%. Just move forward, get through that fjord, climb that mountain.. You'll feel great once you're workout is over and you know you conquered it!
