50 in 50....Another Slowtwitch Meltdown

Jorgan

So it would appear that despite being a CrossFit 'star' with nearly 600k Instagram followers, you can't go from no Ironman finishes to 50 IMs in 50 days Laughing

https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slowtwitch_Forums_C1/Triathlon_Forum_F1/Fitness_star_Ashley_Horner_to_complete_50_ironman_triathlons_in_50_days_P6671856/

They went nuts obviously. But end result was that she managed one questionable finish, plus two more 'legit' finishes over six days, then pulled the plug.

I'm tempted to start a thread titled "I'm thinking of doing 50IM's in 50 days..any thoughts"

That is a whole world of stupid. I've got a couple of friends / clubmates who have gone down the whole Instagram motivational fitness blog thing. I guess it's a new fitness industry. I'll stick to posting pictures of my cat.

You'd have thought they'd at least do some homework and read up on the deca-nutters before drawing such a silly line in the sand.

Lmao

Ok, I'm just catching up on all this, but there's a lot of reference to the Iron Cowboy (admittedly never heard of him). His website is so bombastic I wanted to throw up - he does get a lot of stick also on ST.

But one specific point which confuses me:

Iron Cowboy; now there's someone who's disappeared completely up his own backside. All for his kids of course. Righto Rolling Eyes
