Hawaii Ironman Triathlon 2011 World Championships

The, Hawaii Ironman 2011 World Championship triathlon race in Kona, Hawaii, brought about some of the toughest and strongest mentally focused athletes in the world to race over 140 miles distance in some some of the most outrageous terrain imaginable. We wanted to produce this short video clip to inspire people, period. The discipline and determination, mental focus, physical fitness and positive mental attitude that it takes to compete in a race like this, brings out many of the top qualities that human beings are capable of. And to us, that is worth sharing with the world. This year we wanted to focus on the biomechanics of the professionals in this race, and the "story" of the race. It was a great year, the men's world record was broken by Craig Alexander and Chrissie Wellington finished 20 minutes behind the first leader, after the bike, and still managed to run down all of her competition to come in first. Not all of us are cut out to be world class triathletes, but we sure can admire all of the qualities that it takes to get there. After watching this race, you will want to get your running shoes on, and we suggest that you do, after all your health is your wealth. We were fortunate enough to be allowed to use Peter Bergmann's remix of Hans Zimmer,Time, for the music, you can find this download at / wpahp

My bro is a sub-2:55 marathon runner, and just picked up cycling, bought a $2000 road bike, and can't avg 15 mph on a flat course for a full hour. I kind of believed what you believed at one time, but after seeing him, now I know to give each sport it's true respect.

[@AnthonyNelsonChen]

This video was better than the NBC production.

[@NZMojo1]

Awesome, I got to be there and participate, watching this bought back some special memories. Thanks for sharing! I so wanna go back!

[@TexasMadePapi]

I have the biggest respect for triathletes! They are truly the hardest working athletes, I don't care what sport you perform in. Triathletes have it the toughest!

[@BosaBogans]

I was in this Ironman 2011 Kona! It was amazing and also tiring LOL I got to meet Craig Alexander and Chrissy Wellington and the other top 10 winners. I used to play this song on my pods while training and was so happy to hear it on this video! Andy Boecherer was a super fun person to hang out with! Loved it and will go back someday! 💕♥️❤️⭐️

[@livedeliciously]

The enormity of this event is just astonishing.

[@KyKCuk51]

Goose bumps! I want to Finish Ironman some day !

[@oxman0313]

Thanks for the motivation for my first ride back in two months tomorrow. Going to crush some miles.

[@spydderman]

I just want to go do my evening training session after watching this awesome retrospective! Anyone who's completed serious endurance events finds themselves in it.

[@tannerkristopher3063]

you probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

[@marc7496]

One of the best ironman highlights ever

[@Mike.A.]

Thanks TriAddict! I went to youtube and did a search under "triathlon" - this was the first video I clicked on and was mesmerized from start to end. The combination of the music and video footage was very powerful indeed and exactly the inspiration I was looking for, well done!

It's that spiritually addictive music that does it combined with great shots.

[@centerM87]

start with a sprint race. It's like .5 mile swim, 13 mile bike and 3 mile run. Use your finishing time to gauge how fit you are. Train all year then do the sprint again the following season to give you comparing times. If you are building up good endurance move up to an Olympic race which is a 1 mile swim, 25 mile bike and 6 mile run. Don't over due it and have fun. Lew Hollinder is an 81 year old Ironman.

[@MrTomclarks]

Wow thanks. That was the best highlights ive seen so far on youtube.

[@EJL2004]

Awesome choice of music, and very inspiring and invigorating video! Thanks for sharing/ creating this! :)

[@SecondBoom]

I really have to say that it is one of the best Triathlon-Videos i have ever seen :)

[@cahuebm]

[@MrGreekthai]

[@abircotp.1550]

The song is Hans ZImmer - Time ( we plants are happy plants remic )

[@leventejuhasz2525]

Chrissie in 2011, in her "perfect race" - so good to see that! And Craig with his flawless, efficient run technique is also an amazing sight!

[@scottclark3042]

Awesome! I watch this on my trainer at least once a week

[@DNAsxe]

[@xMJEC]

Hopefully going to enter the Bolton 2013 Ironman, videos like this get you so motivated!! Great vid man :)

[@Christine.74940]

Quelle merveille! L'élite humaine, la volonté, l'effort, le dépassement de soi , le tout sur fond d'esthétisme. Une idée d'excellence, c'est le kalos kagathos grec à la recherche et de l'exemplarité spirituelle et de la perfection esthétique. Vive le triathlon! et good luck aux triathlètes du TMT

[@TheMurphdog2]

This was one of the best days of my life.

[@caribeaansportsCUR]

[@vinesen1]

There are some sports like cycling and triathlon that you can't watch without feeling the urge to do it yourself afterwards.

[@pegasus619Q]

awesome video. excellent music choice, great editing, well done.

[@alisterdreamwilder3267]

tough athletes , every foot strike is inspirational !

[@2romanempire]

In all honesty, being a 14 year old beginning triathlons, there is no greater dream then to compete in this C:

[@rzabor]

RESPECT!

[@mlachance001]

Believe in what you are make you do beatiful things , Reward you for your Gratitude, Invention of true minded people just gave birth to that kind of event. Life it one day. If you forget it its because youve past away ... Ironman is a Postiveness Of the Mind and how far you can achieve this goal of sucess.

[@barchetta575m]

That's right. The bike is anywhere from 4 and a half hours (for top cycling pros) to 6 hours. Remember, the distance is 112 miles (Roughly LA to San Diego). All 3 disciplines of a triathlon are very difficult in their own right.

[@asl2g4u]

dude, check out Lance armstrong's page. He finished 4th in all of texas in the 1500m freestyle when he was 12. It's not like the guy never knew how to swim. He was on his way to becoming an elite swimmer before he found out about triathlons, which he did throughout his teens. He became an elite triathlete, then he decided to try cycling, which he did and then excelled at it.

[@adgaba]

after all that swimming and cicling, 2:52 for a marathon !! indeed iron made

[@Ro1Danton]

Many ppl start with Triathlon in your age. You can always compete with yourself and there are plenty of distances you can begin with (short, sprint, olympic). Just have a look for Triathlon competitions close to your home.

[@FlySell]

8 hours. 1/3 of a day. 140 miles. Toughest athletic challenge. Ironman.

[@l0unge]

Those guys are so impressive, honestly...

[@GeetarAdam]

Thanks! :) I was just curious.

[@robertwoyniec6956]

respect for all who finished ironman.

[@jrobledo93]

These are real athletes

[@bertolli516]

at this time last year i decided the same too, dropped 40 pounds since then, have another 30-35 ish to go. And am doing my half ironman this year, full next year. I hope to make it to Kona within this decade (am only 20 years old so i have plenty of time if i cant make it this decade)

[@leglod100]

Quelle classe !!! le sport de l'extrème dans la convivialitée

[@IgorSlukvinJr]

if you are athletic enough to do a 55min swim, try the Ironman I think you might be pleasantly surprised how well you'd do. People who are really good in one discipline, are usually good at the whole thing (50 min is pro time, 55min is considered elite or pro abilities for the swim)

[@9558571]

Super!!! triatlon 4ever

[@0m3g4s]

this people are truly amazing

[@palestinianjerusalem]

you are so right !!!!

[@Saifongjunfan]

@Glatzenhaar3 this is a remix of the Hans Zimmer music "Time" for the movie Inception

[@Abc.Abc.1998]

Gracias , me gusta el tema , es muy motivador para el deporte cuando estas entrenando o cuando estas en la carrera

[@HKallan]

Excellent.

[@Azathoth13]

This guys is Superhuman !!!

[@chowychow]

Feel so pumped aft watching it. Sadly my swimming is shit :(

[@asl2g4u]

LOL at the guy on the right at 1:09.

[@HKallan]

@HKallan in the description at the bottom. :)

[@insatiable2rossi]

Holy mental cases!!

[@centerM87]

Chrissie Wellington always has a smile.

[@pilotohog]

The song is the version of Time - inception by We plants are happy plants. The original version is made by Hans Zimer but this remix is awesome, sad i have not found it to download.

[@judithbreastsler]

Wow time flies

[@wadeal1973]

Love this Video best highlights on youtube EVER!!!! I do Ironman, it's the best sport going!! Also to the 2 people who disliked this, all I can say is get off your Fat Lazzy Arse, and do something other than dislike some that changed my life, and may others!! I was 116kgs 2 years ago, and by doing Triathlon I'm now 85kgs!! Thank You Ironman :):):):)

[@ShaneGoldbergLive]

@vinesen1 couldn't agree more!!! inspirational

[@bertolli516]

dirk brockel averaged once 315 watts for an entire ironman distance race. 112 miles and still saving energy for the run. He can easily average 400 plus if he choose to do cycling solely. When i said 400, i mean as their ftp.

[@JPP192]

tout simplement magnifique.

[@Foufouvideos]

All these peoples are heroes :,)

[@PiloteBoeing747]

Music : Hans Zimmer - Time (We Plants are Happy Plants Remix) +1 ;D !! P.S : I

[@TRITOL80]

Sono tutti miei idoli, dal primo all'ultimo!!

[@caribeaansportsCUR]

RESPECT

[@SergeantColdgirl]

They do have their own difficulties but a triathlon is harder since there are three sports all together, plus including the stamina, endurance, speed, training you will need to at least make it through half of this without fainting as to even win this. I guess that's why most people say its the hardest of all athletic activities.

[@SignatureCha0s]

A large group of people is a deterrent against shark attacks. Sharks also stay outside a specific proximity from the people. It has been studied although not extensively of the aggressive and instinctive hunting behavior of sharks when near crowds of people.

[@LVJANISLV]

good luck and hopefully your dream will come true =]

[@barchetta575m]

@MyArchie17 Yes. And if you can beat Craig Alexander (2008, 2009, 2011 World Champion) to first place, you also receive $120,000 in prize money. So, begin training to qualify! (You qualify by competing in another Ironman distance race and performing well in it according to your age group) Goodluck!

[@barchetta575m]

@MyArchie17 Anyone can compete! You simply need to have the motivation to work hard to get there. You will receive the respect of being an 'Ironman'! And yes, you also get a medal! So start working hard!

[@oliverzelenak7446]

Craig Alexander 2016 hawaii iroman

[@dannyrutz3792]

His finish was 8:03 dang

[@barchetta575m]

Look up track spikes for cross country, 5K and 10Ks. I used spikes during my cross country running career.

[@chamman9001]

im inspired...

[@IgorSlukvinJr]

plus Panama had much tougher conditions (Texas is home state, not so humid, etc...) the fact he did worse on easier course suggests an outlier, Panama was his first 70.3 and extreme conditions and he did well so I think it is more representative of his capabilities. If he did worse on the tougher course then your hypothesis would be stronger. It will be interesting to see how he does in the full distance in France.

[@WobblinGobblin]

Magic

[@mrtriathlondude]

2.4 miles. It's not too bad, until you exit the water and realize you have 7+ hours of racing left to go:)

[@garyzgod27]

As a avid swimmer, 2.4 miles is ok I can prob finish that in 55min, but man biking 112 miles and then run a marathon. Damn. I'll be dead half way thru biking
