"Did you do your marathon yet? When is that coming up?"
"Aren't you doing a triathlon or something like that?"
I can't tell you when I first learned what an Ironman was, but I know I've known about it and what it was since my ASU days. I paid no attention to it and didn't have a clue about the sport. But I knew it was a really long swim, something around 100 miles on the bike, and then a marathon.
Since my motivations for this are more of a mental undertaking rather than physical, I don't bother to correct the person that made small talk with me in the elevator or the hallway. However, this video sums it up very well. Plus, it features some age-groupers and not just the pros.
