IronMan 70.3 - Miami, FL
On Sunday, October 25th 2015, Miami hosted the IronMan triathlon. This is always great to see athletes ready to push their limit to the max. The IronMan triathlons are impressive because they are part of the Ultra Triathlon and all the distances are much longer than a traditional triathlon. Ultra triathlons last for at least 8 hours (for the shortest ones as the one in Miami) or can last until 17 hours for the one in Hawaii for exemple.
Participants had to swim 1.2 miles in the protected ocean waters of downtown Miami before entering T1, located at Bayfront Park.
The one-loop, 56-mile bike course took the athletes through the scenic communities of Miami.
Athletes headed then west toward the Everglades in Broward and back to downtown Miami.
And finally, he 13.1-mile run course took the athletes alongside the waters of Miami and offer unique views of this amazing city.
