The tour is no doubt grueling, there's no debating that, but I think that the amount of sheer pain and effort an Ironman triathlete packs into one day is the most concentrated amount of tough there is. Having to run a frickin' marathon after you just did two already grueling stints boggles my mind.
Both sports get my respect. Although with all the roidbots in professional cycling these days, much less so.
