“The perfect endurance race” is how this length of event is described by many in the sport of Triathlon, yet it is a demanding endurance event for the part time athlete as well as the elite in this sport. The race starts with a 1.9km swim, as the first of the three disciplines, that need to be completed. Next is the cycle leg that covers 90kms, more than enough to stiffen the legs and tire you out. This is then followed by a half marathon run of 21.2 km. This event is not for the faint hearted, as it takes determination and true grit to complete. For most it becomes a personal test of mental toughness and inner strength. Training for three different sports in one event, completed in one day, is an achievement that needs to be recognised and celebrated.
“The perfect endurance race” is how this length of event is described by many in the sport of Triathlon, yet it is a demanding endurance event for the part time athlete as well as the elite in this sport.

This is then followed by an almost half marathon run of 20 km. This event is not for the faint hearted, as it takes determination and true grit to complete. For most it becomes a personal test of mental toughness and inner strength. Training for three different sports in one event, completed in one day, is an achievement that needs to be recognised and celebrated.
It used to be the marathon that was the ultimate test of endurance. Then a group of fitness fanatics in Hawaii decided to settle their debate over who was the fittest – the runner, the cyclist or the swimmer, by combining all three disciplines in a 226.2km (140.6 miles) challenge.
Fifteen men stood on the starting line in February 1978, and each was handed three sheets of hand written paper, listing a few rules and an exhortation, “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life.”
“Whoever finishes first, we’ll call him the Iron Man”. Said John Collins, a US navy commander, giving birth to a tag that stands until this day, with a minor alteration: every single person who finishes the race is an IRONMAN”
