As my sprinter swimmer friends like to point out to me and my mid-distance/distance ilk, just because you work out longer does not mean you worked out harder.
That being said, it boggles my mind why anyone would ever want to do an Ironman event, much less train for one. The process and the event sounds about as interesting to me as reading the NYC phone book. I am impressed with the lunatics who do, though.
Ironman is the art of running a marathon when you're already exhausted. I've done it twice and I don't need to do it any more.
