@waltkrieg oh and … @waltkrieg oh and also the temp of the water depends on the location of the ironman, some are in hawaii where the water is warm and others further north or south where the water is pretty cold. it really depends on the location because california is pretty hot but the beaches are always cold because of the alaskan current but im not sure Cali hosts an ironman.
@waltkrieg well … @waltkrieg well your obviously not gonna stop during a swim to grab a bite to eat or drink. in a marathon food and water is provided throughout the course. water at every mile and snacks such as pretzels, nuts, bananas ect.. but i dont know how that works in iornmans. but im sure thats why its an ironman because you have to push through the cramps, fatigue, and self doubt and when you’re all done its absolutely worth it.
@WALTKRIEG No ones … @WALTKRIEG No ones body is fit enough for a ironman. You need to be alot more then in shape to be a ironman. You have to be mentally fit enough to push yourself through the last 42k.

@shinhigh But if … @shinhigh But if your body is not fit enough you can not finish. Also, I am a long distance runner and I can tell you that I would never participate to an Ironman, because I am not a good swimmer.
Finally, Im wandering how is it to swim… Is it cold ? Warm ? and what is happening when a swimmer has cramps ? or when the athlete is hungry or thirsty ?
@shinhigh Good for … @shinhigh Good for you! Your Dad sounds like mine and I’ve worked hard to prove him wrong many times (and always succeeded). It’s sometimes the best motivation there is! Book your Ironman and go for it….
@MrBozo88 Fair play … @MrBozo88 Fair play to you! I’m an ex-International decathlete (and now personal trainer) and you sound very committed and will do very well I’m sure. I once did two decathlons in 5 days and that was tough, but I have always loved the mystique surrounding the Ironman. I can’t wait to tell everyone I’ve done it!
@gsf04 By example. … @gsf04 By example. I’m 22 and I can tell you that by example I’m getting my mother and sister into this. By training three hours a day, by losing weight, by looking and feeling good and by living better they see there is something to training towards the ULTIMATE goal! You can check out the videos on youtube posted by “underground wellness”. What he says is not always very accurate but the basics is there and he goes to a gym where he speaks to personal trainers that know their stuff.
@gsf04 I’m 22 now … @gsf04 I’m 22 now and I started training for ironman three months ago. I still have five months to go but I feel better than ever. The way I approached my mother and sister to get into the sport with me is by example. I train two to three hours a day and I eat right (not diet). I dropped 10kg in the three months i’ve been training hard, I get up at 4 in the morning and not feel tired, I achieve goals I never thought possible and they see that and start wondering if it’s possible for them too.
@gsf04 well ive … @gsf04 well ive never done an iron man but i have ran a marathon and believe me when i say that it is 80% mental and 20% physical….you will doubt yourself of finishing n your in at about mile twenty but digging deep inside and finding some sort of motivation is the best way to finish. (my dad told me i wasnt going to finish, my goal was to prove him wrong) so i did it without stopping. now the iron man is my next goal
never done an … never done an ironman but it is my ultimate goal to finish it. i have volunteered at a water stop for the disney ironman and i am always amazed at the persistance of the runners
