gummibear Posted August 11, 2018 Author Posted August 11, 2018 When she starting as did not see anything in the Web link?8th August but I can’t find any actual info if she has completed any.
gummibear Posted August 11, 2018 Author Posted August 11, 2018 Gummibear, you got a crush on her?No crush but a bit intrigued by the challenge.
SwissVan Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Does not look like your typical mega endurance athlete buildMaybe she has a good protein sponsor

ajnkzn Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 James Lawrence (Iron Cowboy) did it in 2015 but all of his races were outdoors.He had also done a few Ironman races before he embarked on the challenge Ashley Horner has only completed an Olympic distance race All while driving between each state (apart from Hawaii (did it first) and Alaska I imagine) in a camper van with wife and 5 kids. That's properly impressive. https://www.outsideonline.com/2005266/iron-cowboy-makes-masochism-look-funhttps://www.outsideonline.com/2050011/iron-cowboys-guide-successful-parentinghttps://www.outsideonline.com/2022661/how-compete-road-while-raising-kids-5-themhttps://www.outsideonline.com/2016016/what-athletes-track It deserved way more coverage - has to be one of the more impressive endurance achievements ever - along with Marc Beaumont (?) riding around the world in under 80 days.
Chris_ Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 she started yesterday in Haiti, did it in just over 14 hours, she also used to be a competitive figure athlete, thats why she looks so awesome..
EmJayZA Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 she started yesterday in Haiti, did it in just over 14 hours, she also used to be a competitive figure athlete, thats why she looks so awesome.. Was just a little over 15 hours. Swim - 1:07 (quite a bit faster than her usual pace)Bike - 8:02Run - 6:11 I watched the Iron Cowboy documentary, and it took a lot out of him. I would be very worried about the long term impact. Adrenal fatigue would scare me. The Iron Cowboy was so out of it on one of his rides that he had a crash from falling asleep on his bike. And that was from an experienced triathlete. I take my hat off to Ashley Horner. It is a remarkable achievement if she can get through it all. And doing it in such a public way means there is no room for failure. I just hope she is being honest.

I just hope she is being honest. I read on Slowtwitch that the swim was short, she didn't make the distance and it took her 21+ hours to complete. https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slowtwitch_Forums_C1/Triathlon_Forum_F1/Fitness_star_Ashley_Horner_to_complete_50_ironman_triathlons_in_50_days_P6671856-60/ Ironman: 3.8 km swim, a 180 km bicycle ride and a 42km run, raced in that order and without a break under 17 hours.
