Just when you thought finishing a 5 or 10K race was something to be proud of along comes ultra-distance triathlons that double, triple, and quadruple the Hawaii Ironman distances. We warm up with a 24 mile swim, 1,120 mile bike, and 262 mile run then hook up with Wayne Kurtz, author of Beyond the Iron to discuss what it takes to compete in this extreme sport. Join the endurance athletes on Wayne’s site RaceTwitch.com. We also check in with Patrice Metamoros, director of the Pittsburgh Marathon to see how goes planning for the big day May 15.
