Ironman 2008
I’m still tired after getting up so early…. inhuman 4:30 a.m..
A few minutes before 6 a.m. we (mgratzer and wranner) arrived at the ‘Strandbad Klagenfurt’ to get a great position on a bridge to see the start of the 10th Ironman in Klagenfurt (it takes place from 7 a.m. to midnight).
The members of the Ironman must be absolutely crazy, because there are 3.8 km to swim, 180 km to cycle and after that 42,196 km to run. The fastest members need about 8 hours for this extreme triathlon (that’s an over all-average speed of about 28 km/h).
