Several people have asked me about this so I thought that I would clarify it here. The 100 mile bike ride that I did on Sunday was a non-competitive ride. That means that there wasn't a winner and there were no places assigned to individual riders. I believe that most of the participants think of it more as a personal challenge to be able to complete a 100 mile ride. The wind and the rain made it an even greater challenge than it would normally be.
A lot of people have also confused this Minnesota Ironman Bike Ride with the Ironman Triathlon. I am not certain whether or not the two events are affiliated in any way. But this was just a bike ride and certainly was not a triathlon. It might be kind of fun to train for and participate in a regular triathlon but I'm not sure that I'd ever want to do the real Ironman triathlon. It sounds way too grueling.
