An IRONMAN is a kind of triathlon XXL : the athletes swim 3.8 km (here, in the Mediterranean) before riding their bikes for 180 km (in the high country of Nice). To finish with a marathon, or 42 km of running (four loops on the Promenade des Anglais).
We do the three sports almost every day, they are daily or even twice-daily training.
