StreetThe Ironman Triathlon - Hawawii
Get up in the morning, swim 2.4-miles, take a bike ride for 112 miles and since you are now warmed up why not run a marathon of 26.2 miles. Did we mention the temperature is extreme and the terrain is worse. This is the Ironman Triathlon Championship held in Kona, Hawaii each year. |

Ironman Triathlon - Hawawii
When a group of Navy Seals started an argument about who was the fittest athlete in 1978, Commander John Collins suggested that the best way to decide would be to combine the Waikiki Rough Water Swim, the Around Oahu Bike Race and the Honolulu Marathon ... whoever finished would be a real Ironman.
Although there are a number of events held each year the Ironman Championship in Hawawii is the one that recievesthe most media attention.
