I know there has been a lot shade in this thread regarding his style verse an actual Ironman, and how he and the media may be portraying the effort.
Ignoring all that, if he completes a 2.4 mile pool swim (with a wetsuit and drafting), a 112 mile bike (with friends and a proton), and walks a marathon for 100 days straight, where would you rank this in compared to other extreme endurance challenges?
Is there a comparison? Is it apples to oranges? How does this compare to the Appalachian Trail sped record for example?
