| Have you ever watched this? I adore watching the competition every year and hearing the stories of the athletes and what they have overcome or are competing for. So much strength and honor its dazzling.

| I have watched this competition several times. These guys display sheer gutsiness and courage and I cannot imagine what they must do to train for this competition.

| One would think training for this type of thing would be just has hard as those who train for the Olympics. I could not begin to try and understand their dialy workouts to lead up to something like this.

| This is probably the best and most exciting competition to watch. I watch this competition each time, taping it if I have to work. I enjoy it more than the Olympics.

| This has to be the most physical competition out there. To swim the distance and then have the strength to get on a bike and then you have to run for the finish line. Me, personally, I couldn't swim the distance.

| The athletes that compete in this are amazing. I would have to think that there is some sort of obsession or addiction to this type of event. The training for this must be outrageous and time consuming.

I have watched but I am sure I could never compete. This is one of those sports you know when your licked at it and do not even attempt it.

| Unbelievably, as I was flicking the channels, I came across an ironman competition, and WHOA... a high school buddy was fighting. He was doing well! He was sorta geeky and | | | |
