I mean, those aren't even that bad. Some weeks there are terrible answers. That was just a couple of mistakes that you could probably even justify.
 
The correct answer is the run.

You have already swam 2.4 miles and cycled another 112. Then you have to run a marathon.
 
Anyone who has actually swam a quarter mile at a stretch can bitch about the answer.

I have. Swimming 2.4 miles at a steady, plodding pace is MUCH easier than running 26.2 miles not even taking into account that the run is the last part of the Ironman. Hell, I'd rather swim 2.4 miles than run 10 miles.
 
Tyler & Saint Paul killed me & thus our team. My Daggum middle name is Thomas and I didn’t put it wtf

Man we have different experiences then. Training for the swimming was by far the hardest part of triathlon training for me.
 
Third round of reveals (After, basketball, 40 yr old virgin) killed me. Should stop picking movies based on what I perceive to be how often they run on cable. Are people setting their alarm before 7 because of kids, or because they have a more extensive morning routine than me?
 
i did google the triathlon question and this was the first thing that came up:

given that and the fact that my first instinct was 'swim' i didn't give it a second thought

Jesus man. I leave for work before 7 am.
 
If you are at the starting line of an Ironman, you have trained enough for the swim portion. You have adrenaline coursing through your veins. It’s the coolest part of the day and imposes the least physical impact.

The hardest part is probably getting kicked in the face by other swimmers.

So did I make it in or did my 3 missed weeks kill me?

Ooof I bet like me many posters just saw triathlon. I agree the run is the hardest part of the Ironman
 
Sorry, team. Another 1-pointer. These movies are killing me. Thanks for picking up the slack.
