Ironman Langkawi
Malaysia Triathlon 2008 |
23 February
Lotto Ironman Malaysia takes place on Langkawi, a
popular island resort destination in Malaysia. It's
tough not because of the course, which consists of a
very warm swim, a rolling bike and a relatively flat
run course. It's tough because it can get really
hot, especially during the run. How hot? In 2001
temperatures that reached 43 degrees Celsius (which
is very close to 110 degrees Fahrenheit for anyone
who thinks in those terms).
