I agree, "fitness" can be defined in so many ways. Put the top 10 crossfit games competitors into an Ironman event and see how they stack up. HaHa!I'd be interested to see how the top 10 ironmaners would do in the crossfit games. Other than the obvious events I imagine there'd be a few they couldn't finish, or start.
Yeah if you took that top 10 crossfit athletes vs the top ten Kona ironman athletes. I would put money on more cross fitters could complete the ironman versus ironman athletes complete/start all the events at the crossfit games.
This comparison is not valid. Making the pro Ironman athletes complete the crossfit events with the pro crossfiters weights, is like making pro crossfitters complete the ironman as fast as pro IM athletes. And I can guarantee that not a single crossfitter will go sub 8 on any course.
2x Deca-Ironman World Cup (10 Ironmans in 10 days), 2x Quintuple Ironman World Cup (5 Ironmans in 5 days), Ultraman, Ultra Marathoner, and I once did an Ironman.
