In a normal race, when you get to the finish line, you get to stop. At an Ironman event, if you have just completed your swim, you get to go for a bike ride. If you've finished your bike ride, you get to go for a run, and if you've only got here for the first time on your run, well you get to go and run some more!
With several thousand competitors on the track, the tail enders are many, many hours behind the winners, so the fun goes on for spectators all morning.

I can imagine how exhausting it must be.
