We Tried To Do A Triathlon Up The World's Biggest Volcano!

Спорт

We’ve decided to change the Ironman World Championship route in Kona up, & by up, we mean UP! We’re heading up a massive volcano…Mauna Kea! Mark & James took on the challenge to see if a triathlon up the mountain was really possible? Could they make it?

    Nice effort boys, in Japan we do the Mt Fuji IM challenge every year, Swim 2.4 in Lake Yamanaka, ride the 112 miles around the Fuji 5 Lakes & surrounding mountains, then a run up Mt Fuji and back down the lave rock trail… finish at our favorite Onsen … All parts of this challenge are organized events in themselves… we just took the natural step next like the Ironman founders did…. Cheers

    Bravo!! Triggers fond memories of my challenge doing the Paia to the top of Haleakala and back ride and still the disbelief when I see Haleakala that I was able to ride to the top. Best feeling from a ride ever on the way back down through the clouds (more of scattered clouds) and being able to take in what I had just been able to do.
