Question

Did you know? The Ironman triathlon is a day-long extreme test: 3.86 km swimming, 180.25 km cycling, 42.195 km running — all back to back. The original 1978 version was held in Hawaii to settle a debate over whether swimmers, cyclists or marathoners were the fittest. Today the world championship lasts 8-9 hours.
