Ironman Wisconsin, Not the Easiest

David M. posted an article on - Jul 16, 2010, 10:53 am
There is a good article today from TriJuice. It compares average finish times from the different Ironman races. The good news is, it doesn't look like Ironman Wisconsin is the hardest to finish, its like the second hardest. Crap.

How Much for an Ironman Trophy?

David M. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I get that doing an Ironman is a big deal. It's an accomplishment that takes a lot of time, effort, and dedication (at least that's what people keep telling me). And I can see where Ironman finishers would want a memento of this impressive feat. So when I received my daily top stories email from...

David M. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
