When you think that you are done you're only 40% in to what your body's capable of doing. That's just the limits that we put on ourselves.

FIND YOUR INNER IRONMAN

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 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run, raced in that order and without a break. It is widely considered one of the most difficult one-day sporting events in the world.

“'Though my first IRONMAN finish was to prove to myself that anything is possible and that I could do it, after that, the motivation becomes something more.  Not just to finish, but to inspire, motivate, and encourage others.  Race for More.”
Ben, IRONMAN Florida
“There is so much care and support given by these community volunteers to each and every athlete. It is awe inspiring. Each community takes pride in welcoming and supporting IRONMAN athlete and it is my honor to raise funds and awareness...”
Kristine, IRONMAN Arizona
“TEAM IMF enables me to carry the flag for those not fortunate enough to take the [IRONMAN] challenge I am taking. By giving back to the communities we touch, The IRONMAN Foundation helps make a selfish competition in a selfless cause for me.”
Andrea, IRONMAN Arizona

The point is, what separates finishers from quitters in any aspect of life is that finishers know how to silence the mind when it kicks up those demons of doubt.
