Ironman Triathlon

100 times seen, but still impressive

toni hasler's - 4 column's principle

Very interesting and smart triathlon-approach. An optimization of 4 dimensions: Mental, Nutrition, Body and Material. Very shocking, how much energy one can save by weight reduction. One of my constant battles. In the video Toni shows that by using different material, one can save 200 gr. That means an athlete will move 3600 kg less into the finish in a marathon (100 steps a minute - 3 hours).

Toni Hasler said triathlon is all about optimization of 4 dimensions:

Mental, Nutrition, Body and Material

1. You rank every dimension from 0 (=very bad) to 10 (=full potential achieved)

2. Then you multiply all four figures

      best case 10*10*10*10 = 10,000

      worst case 0*0*0*0 = 0

this is your triathlon success score.
