Welcome to Mile for the Camera Episode 7! In this episode we run a 1 mile loop around Cool Creek with Bobby Grangier. Bobby is a local multisport athlete who recently traveled to Norway to compete in the Norseman Xtreme Triathlon.
What is Norseman you ask?
Oh, just one of the World’s Toughest Triathlons according to several lists . . .
So, what makes it tough? It could be the 17,000+ feet of elevation gain over it’s 140.6 miles. Or maybe it’s the traditionally cold and windy weather. Or perhaps the fact that you have to provide all your own support – no cushy IRONMAN aid stations here!
Either way – it’s tough. And even tougher perhaps when it’s your first attempt at a “full iron” distance event like it was for Bobby.
Hear about how he trained for such a mountainous event in flat old Indiana, as well as more details about his race day:
Be sure to follow Bobby on Instagram (@bgrangier) to see his next adventures!
Cheers!
