Ultraman

When i was in Aussie, those folks that travel with me are obsessed with Ultraman! Ask me about whether i am taking part, etc. What the hell is that? I just orh. har and ignore them. Don't know what the hell is that.

The conversation on Ultraman keep surfacing here and there, i just assume it is another triathlon event, longer than Ironman. What the big deal?

Brother of OD(1.5km/40km/10km) is 70.3
Brother of 70.3(2.8km/90km/21km) is IM
Brother of IM(3.8km/180km/42km) is UM?

Is UM just 2x of IM? Not quite there i afraid....

According to Ultraman website,

6.2 mile (10 K) open ocean swim, a 261.4 mile (421 K) cross-country bike ride, and a 52.4 mile (84K) ultra-marathon run.

Isn't that impressive! How to survive this? Well, i don't know. At least not for mere mortal like me.

Based on local context, i would have to swim/bike/run from here to KL! If that is not tough enough, imagine during the progress, the total elevation is higher than Genting!

Well, there are crazy people around. Not crazy lah, someone that dare to take the challenge. Push the body to another level.

Fools rush in Where angels fear to tread

.....and at some point you'll realise the challenge. :o)

Just another dimension to the way one thinks - right?
