Ok so the question is, what is the best thing about the Ironman Triathlon? Ok. Well first of all, I&#8217;ll tell you what the Ironman is. It&#8217;s a 4 kilometre swim, a 180 kilometre bike ride, and a 42 kilometre run. Wow. It is considered one of the most extreme sports you can do in one day. Wow. What I like about it is that it is a triathlon, and that you are combining those sports which are very healthy to do in combination. What I like about it is you don&#8217;t have to do Ironman to be happy or healthy, and that as a triathlete you can go into short distance ones, and middle distance ones, and children can go in them. I think just about every adult has run, ridden a bike, and done some swimming. And if you combine those sports on a regular basis, you can have a very happy and healthy life. So that&#8217;s how I started, and then I found that I enjoy the long distance a great deal, and so that&#8217;s how I got into Ironman and that&#8217;s why I love it. Wow. Thank you very much. You&#8217;re welcome. That&#8217;s the next edition of Geoff Mobile. Ok have a good day.<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lgNMdwa_T8M\">Youtube link<\/a>)<br \/>\n<!--adsensestart--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript: Hello.
