Is training for a "Double Ironman" easy or hard?

It depends who you ask the question:

If you ask the question to Wayne Kurtz who completed 30 full Ironmans in 30 consecutive days then his answers may be so different.

If you ask the question to other people their answer may vary.....

Now for me? I believe it is very hard but rewarding, I just want to enjoy each training and have a great time that day when I am completing my next "Double Ironman"

I am so excited to be traveling to Brazil 🇧🇷 and Mexico 🇲🇽 for my next 2 Double Ironman Distance Triathlons.

Keep dreaming and conquering your challenges!

Saturday training was so awesome!

One of my best moments completing my "Double Ironman Distance Triathlon" in Mexico 🇲🇽 this October 2022.

This children were there cheering us up so loud and with full of energy.

I told them thank you (muchas gracias) for being there passing us their energy!

They were giving us their "high 5" at every turn.

I told them about my son Deangelo Rodriguez-Deluca who completed 4 kids Triathlons since he was 7 years old and asked them who would like to complete a kids Triathlon. Only one girl responded "Yo quiero hacer una Triatlon" (la niña a mi izquierda con el tapa boca rojo) then I asked all the children: Are you guys going to let her doing her first Triathlon alone? I said: come on guys! Who is doing it with her! Then everyone said "me!".......... that was a beautiful experience!

I hope someday my son Deangelo and I complete a Triathlon in Manuel Doblado, Mexico 🇲🇽 with some of those awesome children!

Dream it!
Believe it!
Register!
Then plan it!
Train with the heart ❤️ and soul!

Life is too short to not continue looking for more challenges!

"When an Ironman distance Triathlon is not enough"

Thanks to my beautiful & strong 70.3 Ironman girlfriend who was there for me all the time before, during and after my race. We conquered this record together!

How I discovered what was an Ultra Triathlon?
In March of 2014, I met in person Wayne Kurtz (Guinness World Record of 30 x 140.6) He completed this record on September 8, 2013.

Wayne shared part of this epic Ultra race where only 25 Ultra Athletes qualified. In order to qualify they needed to have completed a 10 x 140.6 in official Ultra Triathlon.

From those 25 Ultra Triathles, only 8 finished the 30 x 140.6 completing the longest Ultra race in human history with a total of:

76k Swim + 3,600k Bike + 840k Run

Total of 4,520 kilometers in 30 consecutive days in an official race.. This is the longest official Ultra Race in History.

When I met Wayne in 2014, I completed few weeks ago a 70.3 Triathlon on Saturday, I went partying after, slept only about 3 hours then next day on Sunday I completed LA Marathon pacing a friend.

Wayne after hearing this he told me you are ready.

I completed my 1st 140.6 in Ocala Florida on April 2, 2017.

I believe "MENTAL PREPARATION" is the most important part of the training to complete this Double Ironman Distance Triathlon.

My next Ultra Triathlon events that are planning are:

Ultra Triathlon Brazil 🇧🇷
June 2023

Ultra Triathlon Mexico 🇲🇽
October 2023

Completing my 1st ULTRA TRIATHLON in Mexico was a great experience! Race director Beto Villa and his wife were very encouraging and helping in every way, all the staff, volunteers and cheerleaders, Monico who was providing me support, Gerardo Galvan who offered me advice and recommended me Monico for support, Carlos Pena who completed 10 x 140.6 and even he was completing his race he was very encouraging and took time to talk to me and others during this race, Shanda Hill Ultra Athlete who was always so positive and saying words of motivation every time we crossed each other, Enrique from Mexico who completed 3 x 140.6 and was always a great friend at the race. So many great people there! And the beautiful people of Manuel Doblado, Leon, Guanajato, Mexico 🇲🇽 that welcomed with their warm hospitality.

Challenges make us stronger!

I'll be back!
