Since Ironman is usually a Triathlon… I’m guessing Borkville does a 26.22 mile run, 2.4 hours of ironing clothes, then a 112 mile surfing competition using only the ironing board.
Hi, Bleeb. You certainly have turned over a new leaf. You are standing on the WRONG side of that guy . . . or are you maybe (hopefully) just working your way into position??
This kind of Ironman in the state of Idaho might be held in Boise, Moscow, or Pocatello. Everywhere else is Christian Nationalistville circa ~ 1200 BCE (although they’d use AD instead, and burn me at the stake for the other timeline designation).
Any male in those environs seen using an iron on clothing is likely to be instantly excommunicated, if not burned at the stake.
Maybe only dunked if he’s the first in his community to commit this vile sin, and his church decides to only issue a stern community warning.
I could see some small town actually doing a marathon like this—only the ironing boards would have to be on wheels, and you’d run with one the entire way. They’d have to use cordless irons though. I guess the original irons would work: you just fill a metal chamber with hot coal from the fire.

That’s why I never did one. I’m not very good at ironing.

In Cardiff they have an ironing board ultra marathon of 43 miles(70km). They have to carry an ironing board, iron and clothes.

My wife would win a platinum award. I think that we blow through an iron every couple of years…and they’re good irons!

1) Is that a five-iron that I see. It’s hard to tell how many are actually ironing.
2) And the new champion… Iron Nick!

Go wrinkle free clothes- they iron the fastest. The only iron I use now is on the golf course.
