I mean, if I run 13.1 miles in training I would never say I ran a half marathon. A half marathon signifies I did an organized race of some sort.So I guess my 5k PR that I ran on my own at the track shouldn't count because I didn't pay to run it in an organized race? Just as you don't see the point in doing any triathlon on your own, many people don't see the point in paying Ironman 350 dollars for a 70.3 when other race series charge half that for the same distance.
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.
