Ironman Triathlon. An Ironman Triathlon is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run, raced in that order and without a break.
The ideal approach to complete the 112 mile Ironman cycling leg is to evenly split or descend the second half. I have been back from IMWI for 2 weeks now and have had time to decompress from my race and analyze many aspects of the entire race of other athletes. The same issue always comes to my mind instantly: The bike portion of an Ironman! There is one major problem with the way so many age groupers complete the bike portion of an IM race: They go out way too hard and then suffer the last 40 miles, which then seriously affects their run!
