As the sun rises, temperatures on the volcanic rock can reach a scorching 135 degrees. From the moment the contestants exit the water after their 2.4 mile open water swim they will be battling some of the most extreme conditions and pushing their bodies to the limit as they cycle 112 miles and then finish their day off with a marathon run.
Why do they do this? For some it is the thrill of competition. For others it is simply to see if they can. But for the most elite it is to be crowned Ironman Champion.
For most of us running around the block, or maybe a local 5k is what we consider really pushing ourselves. But life, as most know, is an endurance race where there will be trials and injury, joys and triumphs. How are you training for it? Are you striving to be an Ironman, or hoping that you will never be tested?
This weekend we are going to look at what it takes to be a Spiritual Ironman, and why it is so important to start training now!!
See Ya Sunday,
Jeff
