Soman recently trained for and won the Ironman title, which you can only do if you swim 3.8 km, cycle 180 km and then run 42.2 km in under 16 hours without a break. The triathlon is considered one of the toughest physical challenges in the world and the first Ironman from India was a woman, Anu Vaidyanathan. Soman is one of five Indians to win the title this year, after a qualifying race in Zurich.
