Pretty sure I couldn't have done this when I was 20.

My uncle did the Ironman when we has in his 40s. He's been doing triathlon for 20 years at elite level. It took him 11 hours to finish.
At 80, this is beyond incredible.
"It was her 11th Ironman race despite not learning to swim until she was 59 and not starting triathlons until she was 60."
Why the fuck did they put that useless steep incline before the finish line? She was visibly pissed about falling right before the end.
Humans in the modern world are just insane.
