Triathlon Ireland DENIES 'sanctioning' Ironman swimming race where
two men died - as calls grow for probe into Co Cork contest held
during storm
. . .
Well ........... they're supposed to be IRON MEN !
That means persevering in the WORST conditions, the
most extreme effort.
In the old Greek Olympics, men DIED during some of
the events. They meant to go all-out, and for a few
that proved to be too far. Such is the world.
Just saying - "Iron Man" should MEAN something.
No "participation" trophies.
The way the world is heading we're going to NEED
those Iron Men to help save our asses. So, no
wimping-out. "Iron Women" can also apply - and
there ARE some out there and, yes, many ARE kinda
hot too. Can probably find a lot in Ukraine
right now, Kalashnikov and dagger in hand ...
