The first modern long distance Triathlon, the “Ironman,” was the Hawaiian Ironman, which consisted of a 2.4-mile swim, a bike ride of 112 miles, and a marathon run of 26.2 miles. Participants of the event, organized by Commander John Collins, were told by Commander Collins, “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag the rest of your life! Whoever finishes first, we’ll call him ‘the Ironman.’”
Municipal court hearings sometimes become endurance events of their own when attorneys are thrust into hearings late at night at the direction of the court. They are not in the best interest of justice and certainly not in the best interests of defendants.

At times, attorneys are directed to start hearings after 10:00 at night.
