KONA! What is Kona? It is the home of [The Ironman World Championship](http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/world-championship.aspx#/axzz4MFLAR51F). The best triathletes - both pro and amateur - will compete in arguably the hardest single event in one of the most brutal locations. To understand just how tough this race is let's start at the beginning. A triathlon is a single race where you swim, then bike, and then run. The distances range from a "Sprint" all the way up to the "Iron" distance. An Ironman consists of: - **2.4 mile swim** - **112 mile bike** - **26.2 mile run** Without stopping! Now imagine traveling 140.6 miles under your own power in one of the hottest, most humid, and windiest places on earth. Boom - that's Kona. This is not the best spectator sport, especially if you aren't a triathlete yourself. It's looooonnnnggggggg. Most of the pros finish around 9 hours, where mere mortals average about 12 hours.  [Read More](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/the-road-to-kona-is....hard) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/the-road-to-kona-is....hard#comments-listing) Topics: [Pro Tip](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/topic/pro-tip), [Small Business](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/topic/small-business), [Marketing Results](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/topic/marketing-results) ## [5 Ways to Make Your Marketing More Effective NOW!](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/5-ways-to-make-your-marketing-more-effective-now) Posted by [Patrick Sitkins](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/author/patrick-sitkins) on Aug 2, 2016 4:52:57 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.adaptiveims.com/hubfs/OK.png)](https://info.adaptiveims.com/blog/5-ways-to-make-your-marketing-more-effective-now) Chances are, your marketing & sales activity are 'ok'.
