The Nice, France Triathlon

Somewhere I read something about a triathlon in Nice, France. I mentally filed that tidbit away, but since I don't believe I had even signed up for my first triathlon yet I did not look it up. I did think that was pretty cool, though, and maybe I'd contemplate doing it someday.

Today is a triathlon researching kind of day so I did a quick google. Know what I found? The triathlon in Nice is an IRONMAN. This competition is a 2.5 mile swim, 112 miles on the bike, and a full marathon of 26.2 miles. The bike ride sounds quite challenging, and I think I've been to some of those towns. At least the run is on a flat path at the Promenade Des Anglais. I won't be signing up for it any time soon, however!
