IRONMAN 70.3 & IRONMAN NICE FRANCE | Superhuman Performances in Extreme Heat
A scorching heatwave hit France just days before race day — and it didn’t let up. With temperatures soaring to 34°C (93°F) on the Côte d’Azur, IRONMAN 70.3 and IRONMAN Nice became more than just races… they became tests of grit, endurance, and unbreakable spirit.
In this video, I take you inside one of the toughest weekends on the triathlon calendar, where athletes from around the world faced a brutal swim, a relentless bike course through the hills of Nice, and a run under the blazing Mediterranean sun.
What I witnessed was nothing short of superhuman.
These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things. In a heat that would stop most in their tracks, they pushed forward — one stroke, one pedal, one step at a time.
Whether you’re a triathlete, a fan of endurance sports, or just someone looking for a reminder of what the human spirit can achieve, this video will leave you in awe.
🔥 Respect to every single athlete who started this race. You are heroes.
👉 Watch, be inspired, and never doubt your own strength.
