Indoor Ironman during Kona race

Triathlon Forum

I’ve been kicking around the idea of an Indoor Ironman ever since my outdoor race season ended in September. I’ve done long workout on the trainer and treadmill before so this isn’t that intimidating to me.

I want to honor the KONA race and do an epic workout while I’m at it. My plan is to swim at the local pool tomorrow morning, drive home, and then ride the trainer and run on the treadmill while I watch the live coverage. I know people have done these indoor Ironmans before and I want to join in that group even tough there is no real reward for such madness. I’m thinking 13 hours should get the job done. Anyone else done one of these and have some tips?

I plan to drink beer and eat snacks while watching, but to each his own.

I say you go big… shoot for a 16:59:xx, finish by crawling across the living room floor and (perhaps) soiling yourself.

I’m tempted to go for a 10K Challenge tomorrow…as in calories.

But I’ll probably have to stop at 5K.

I tried this once. My wife got upset when I pissed in T2.

Stay under control until you run out of the Energy Lab. Have fun!

Did she care whether you whipped it out or just let it rip in your shorts? Also was your T2 carpeted or hardwood? Did you say, but the dog does it?

I love that idea, if I wasn’t about to leave for Chicago marathon I may have even considered it. Maybe this will be the punishment next year if I don’t KQ.

You can bring your family across the finish line and not have to worry about the DQ.

Does spending 15 hours moving around Disneyland pushing a stroller count? :o)

With the expected meltdowns (children and wife), that’s actually more difficult.

My wife, daughter and son in law get to go on rides, I get to watch the 5 month old and 3 year old grandkids

I plan indoor workouts every year. Usually 4 hours on the trainer and a long treadmill run. All set up for tomorrow!
