The thought of swimming for 3.8km followed by 180km cycling and then running a marathon of 42.2km is hard enough for a lot of us. Not so for today&#39;s guest Prashant Hipparagi. Prashant is an ultra triathlete who recently completed Brasil DecaTri which is a race involving completing 10 Ironman distances in one go covering 38km swimming, 1800km cycling and 422km of running in 11 days. Yes, that is right. 10 Ironman distances at one go.  </p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode Prashant shares about his journey in triathlon so far including the experience of completing the Brasil DecaTri. It is amazing how he was able to complete such a hard ultra event without any crew. He was depending on a combination of homemade nutrition made out of peanuts and local hydration drink mix he carried with him to complete such an arduous event. His simplicity and no nonsense approach comes through in this interaction as well. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.    </p> <p> </p> <p>0:00:00 Intro</p> <p>0:04:20 Relationship with sport growing up</p> <p>0:06:30 Running to lose weight</p> <p>0:08:20 Hearing about Ironman</p> <p>0:10:10 Hawkman tri completion</p> <p>0:12:00 Ultra Triathlons, Brazil Decaman</p> <p>0:14:00 Why Triathlon and why Ultra Triathlon?
