The Original finishers of the first Ironman triathlon in 1978.
WHEN former United States Navy Commander John Collins had a debate with his friends if cyclists, swimmers or runners were the most accomplished athletes, little did he know he would be the founder of a fitness revolution called the Ironman, founded some 40 years ago.
Often described as the epitome of fitness and endurance, athletes in Ironman events push their limits with a 2.4 mile (3.86km) swim, followed by cycling for 112 miles (180km), before finishing off witha 26.2-mile run (42km).
