Reasons To Practice Extreme Sports

<div>
Extreme sport athletes feed on the competition and the respect that comes with being able to overcome the hurdles of each event. They set the bar higher every time, focusing on the goals that they strive to accomplish. While people are more than willing to not participate in an extreme sport, they live off the excitement of watching others perform things that they couldn't possibly see themselves doing.
Take for example the world's biggest triathlon, the Ironman, which consists of a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike race, and finished off by a 26.2-mile run - all races have to be completed without a break. It's an exhausting event but athletes are put through a vigorous period of training and diet restrictions, months before the big day. For those who aren't able to start off with such an event, there's a second option called the Ironman 70.3 with the same line of events but with shorter distances.
