This is the start of the run. People have asked me what is Silverman is it the same as Ironman? Of course not. Ironman is for triathletes who wear skirts. Silverman is a true test of endurance and speed. The Silverman course is much more difficult than the Ironman courses. The distances 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run are the same but the bike leg of Silverman has 8,000 feet of climbing and 1,000 net feet of climb, and the run is on a hilly course too. Ironman is a brand name that is trying to dominate and eliminate independently produced races such as the Silverman. The athlete in the Silverman race is treated much better than in the Ironman races. If you would like a fun time sign up now at silvermannv.com. There is also a half distance Silverman race for those who would like something a little more manageable.
