Mehhhh they are both clearly on gear, who knows what they will be able to do. Steroids are a incredible drug...

I kept wondering what that pic reminded me of, then I remembered. The yak shaving episode of Ren and Stimpy.

Why are you worried about somebody you don’t know, never met, doing something as a publicity stunt?

Really? If she’s juicing (obviously I have no knowledge that she is), you really think that’s something that will carry her through 50 ironmans in 50 days?

You don't think she'll be doing any drafting? In that video where she crashed, they had escort vehicles in front of them (and behind), which can only I assume was for the entire century ride.

Careful, some people may accuse you of calling her an escort!

Not sure about 50 but it’s definitely strong enough to carry her through a handful.

I'd take that bet, assuming that by "handful" you mean at least 5.

3 definitely, 5 at a stretch. Bare in mind she will have the support vehicle drafting the hell out of the course along with the fridge on the bike. The swim will be ok, just the runs which’s will be the question

Definitely the running is what's going to cause her to fail. 50 marathons in 50 days is difficult for highly trained runners, and she isn't one of them.

Her trainer already mentioned concern about her feet and ankles so it won’t be surprising if that’s the out. Even if he didn’t mention that, anything lower body would obviously be a concern in having to run 50 marathons in 51 days

In case 50 Ironmans in 50 days wasnt enough, she now hopes to add strength training (weights) as well during the 50 IMs. This just keeps getting better and better.


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.

Are you saying after finishing an IM you don't run to the closest CrossFit to do some powerlifting?

I'm genuinely excited for this s*** show to begin. I was originally trying to stay away from saying I hope she failed because I truly didn't want her to fail I just wanted her to be honest about the numbers and the distance and if she failed then be honest about it. But at this point I'm sorry I'm really rooting against her just because of how over-the-top and obnoxious this has all become and she either doesn't think that people are watching and realizes she's full of shit or she truly believes her own lies #mentalgymnastics !!!!!

Gotta love it. Every time I finish an IM, I'm thinking to myself that I need to get to the gym right away and hit the weights hard for an hour or so, because my body craves those deadlifts as opposed to getting something to eat then hitting the sack!

Wait a minute! is Captain Butthurt gonna call me out simply because I made an observation?

I notice in her IG posts after a training session she often indicates the session was done fasted as if maximizing calorie burn is a smart thing to be doing before you set off to complete 50 IMs in 51 days

She's running a really big risk of getting rhabdo if she's going into the heat for multiple hours on scant fuel and depending on muscle. Body starts eating muscle for fuel and kidneys fail clogged with muscle-protein-as-fuel byproducts. Scary shit and can leave you with kidney damage for life.

Rhabdo stories and mention of Ironmans. I got a light touch of it running an ultramarathon and had a fun visit to the hospital. http://www.stack.com/a/rhabdomyolysis
