What are you doing this weekend?  For almost all of us, the very thought of a triathlon is exhausting.  The physical ability displayed and physical punishment these athletes go through is amazing.  It’s also a worthwhile experience for any spectator.

On Saturday November 7, head to Panama City Beach for the Ironman Triathlon.  Racers will swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles.  The event will be preceded by days of check ins, registration, shops and more.  However, come 4:30am on Saturday morning, body marking will begin.  The actual race will have a pro-start at 6:50am.  For more information check out the Iron Man Florida website.   The race begins on South Thomas Drive in front of the Boardwalk Beach Resort.
