What it takes
Beyond IRONMAN, extreme triathlons push the boundaries of multi-sport endurance. Norseman Xtreme (Norway's fjord swim, mountain bike, summit run) is the original, with 50% of finishers over 40. Ultraman (515K over 3 days in Hawaii) and Powerman Zofingen (long-distance duathlon world championship) represent the sport's extreme edge.
Injury Prevention for This Adventure
These are the most common injuries for tri athletes over 50. A few minutes of targeted prehab each week can keep you on track.
