Can't be done. I dare you. We need video proof of this as well!!

I will have you know I am currently at 17.5% body fat and just came off a serious f*cking bender...I am highly qualified for such a task. I don't lift weights. I don't run as much as I should. I have a slice of pizza whenever I want one. I also went to college...for 5 years. Victory lap. Why? because I was not done partying yet.

So go ahead, dare me again!

ROFLMAO 😂

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy

“What we have is a failure to Communicate...”

I agree, she does not need to race to beat records but............ to do a decaironman you need a realyl specific training,,,, not even talk about 50 iromans in a row ..........
Im giving here credit and lots of hope to the logistics

I can drink 50 beers in 50 days...


Make it 50 beers a day for 50 days and you will get some interest.

Let's get real here. Someone doing something similar to what we do but many days consecutively hurts our egos real bad and that's the reason to argue how she uses the word ironman

I know a former co-workder who ran a race advertised as a "marathon". It was actually 20 km, which is less than half the distance but to this day, he claims he completed a marathon. He says a marathon is not a distance but what the race organizers say it is and since they advertised a marathon, he's good.

Anyone who actually completed a marathon who challenges him and says he didn't run a marathon, just has a hurt ego. Right?

I've raced the 1 per day in my decas and quintuple. So 1 full iron distance each day for 10 days.

That's impressive.

I assume the DECA was in a set location so you didn't have to travel to another State each night. Given that, how would you rate your chances of adding those logistics of competing in 48 States and then going another 40 days?

Or, given you did 10 consecutive Ironmans could you do 50 in 50 days without the logistical issues?

What was his time for the "marathon"? Is he a something like a 2:04 marathoner or better still, the World Record holder?

IF she was claiming that she did a full Ironman


If she is saying she is doing "50 Ironman triathlons in 50 days", people who know what an Ironman triathlon is will object if she does a shorter distance. Even if it's not a set distance, most people who have heard of triathlons associate the Ironman with Hawaii, not the local Olympic race.


She is using the headline and if she then changes the distance, it's on her. If she said "50 days of swim/bike/run" without specifying the distance, no one would object. She didn't do that because it doesn't look as impressive. If she is going to use headlines to get attention (and donations), then she has to do the distance and it's fair game to call her out. You can't have it both ways.

Is there a chance that we are assuming any mention of Ironman means the full distance? Was this entire thread a victim to confusion of the two? The difference to us seems obvious but is it for the average person? I believe I remember some threads where athletes completing an olympic distance Ironman branded event were getting Ironman tattoos. Didn't Ironman even do some marketing that basically implied you were an Ironman if you completed one of their races?

Or- Is it possible she is working with the Ironman company to do this event? Thus any tri is an Ironman event?

I doubt she is working with the Ironman company. If she is, they're marketing department is completely failing as they're not promoting it on their website.

If it is a collaboration I hope that Welchie will do the live commentary!

In the 1st 10 seconds of the video she says "...full distance Ironman in all 48 states".

Doesn't leave much to interpretation. Anything less then 140.6 miles would be deceitful.

Ok, I assumed it was something vague given the amount of speculation on this thread that she was trying to pull a fast one on us. I should have gone with the more obvious choice that some people here are donkeys. Because there is nothing like going for something epic and having everyone nitpicking the specifics before it even starts.

50 Full distance ironman 70.3s... Like made from 100% genuine pleather

Btw, is it funny that the distance names 70.3 and 140.6 are accurate to one tenth decimal while races can be 5km off? Maybe they should be called 70ish and 140ish?

Could not give a rats ass if she does it or not.

That is like saying usain bolt’s ego is hurt when someone runs a mile

Never could understand the thinking that sprints were inferior to LD races.

The way I see it is we have two choices:

#1 Wait and do nothing. "Event" starts on August 8th. We can all then watch it unfold and praise or critique as needed

#2 Have somebody from Slowtwitch officially interview her. Slowtwitch will ask the hard questions and see if it passes the sniff test. If she declines, well we can all start speculating.

6 degrees of separation anyone?

Even then. 50 full half 70somethingishs isn’t a walk in the park. Doing 13 miles a day on dead legs from biking for 50 day’s straight is still gonna blow the majority of people up by the end of the first week.

What we should do is create a Deadpool - People pick a day she quits and why. Like, "Day 20, ran on elliptical instead of for real." Winner gets some sort of prize we cook up.

I pick Day 6, quits due to issues related to dehydration.
