Reply to comment by justlooking128 in [OC] An Ironman Triathlon, by the minute by ptgorman

I can't even imagine running a half marathon...in any amount of time. I attempted a 10k and it took about an hour and I almost collapsed.

If a human can push themselves that hard physically, they deserve the 10 million dollars or whatever a damn NBA player gets for a single game.

I will admit however that the bike is the easiest part. I once rode 43 miles in a single afternoon. It wasn't easy, but it was easier than the 10k run.

I did an Ironman several years ago. I finished in 15:30. Those extra 7 hours make it much easier. People are quite surprised when I tell them I finished, but when they hear that it took 15 hours they understand.
