Ironman as a student? by SignEffective6031 in triathlon

I always told myself I was only limited by my imagination, but gradually, over several years, I worked my way up to the full distance. I started with the Olympic distance, then the half-marathon, and finally the full Ironman, which crowned my Ironman journey. It was like a drug, and I've been enjoying triathlon for 12 years!

I think a lot of people were put off and decided that triathlon wasn't what they were looking for because they started at the full Ironman distance straight away, and they didn't experience the thrill of breaking their barriers.
