Nice morning!
Tip: can you pan a bit slower? That way more of the beauty of your surroundings comes across!
4-5 hours of training PER DAY is what it takes to get to ironman? That's like a half-time job. I gotta stick with being a 70.3-hopeful...
Will do! No, 4 to 5 hours per day on the weekend, 2 hours on weekdays.
That's still 18 hours a week. Shouldn't it be possible to train to compLete (as opposed to compete) in an Ironman in less than that?
Sure. You can train for one with 12. But then you'll be out on the race course for nearly 17 hours. 17 extremely painful hours. You'll find a few people that do it in less, bit they usually have decades of training behind them and are the exceptions to the rule. A pro triathlete probably could not train for a year and still do a 13 hour ironman.
