My thoughts on the Ironman: It is about the story of the individual. Each one of the participants has a reason for becoming an Ironman. Overcoming the limitations of the human condition and pushing on to a new level of achievement. Yet...it is also a collective consciousness. The culture that is Ironman would not exist without the desire for those individuals to attain a piece of it. It is no wonder that these events book up for the following year, the day after the event.
If you have not attended one of these events, you should. If you are athletic in any regards, attending one of these events will no doubt leave you with loads of inspiration, drive and determination to achieve more for yourself.
I am working on a video feature that encapsulates the experience of an Ironman competition. When I post it, I will add a link to one of the feature banners on our homepage...so please check back. In the meantime, I put together a 30 second clip that focuses on the individual surrounded by the culture of an Ironman event.
