A friend has done several ironmen(women) events. The commitment she puts into the training is impressive. Often her bike training is paired with family trips. She will start several hours earlier than her family and ride her bike 200kms. Her husband and kids will time it to meet and pick her up at a designated spot. She works full time and has two kids so her swimming is often down in the early mornings. If I recall correctly, she mentioned swim training sessions of something like 100 laps. In the first Ironman event she finished in just over 15 hours.
