Northwell Ironman Competition returns to Jones Beach after weather delay

Athletes, they're putting their strength and endurance to the test at Jones Beach, all hoping to come in Ironman. Racers must swim two, first swim 2.4 miles, then bike 112 miles and finish with a full marathon. That's 26.2 miles. All told, there's more than 140 miles and they have just 17 hours to cross the finish line and earn the title of Ironman. We spoke with their loved ones about the hard work and dedication it takes to get ready for this challenge. Oh my gosh, the amount of time he spent on the bike in our living room, the swimming, the running, the early mornings, the late nights. Yeah, it was crazy, but he's so resilient and he's done awesome. I'm so proud of him. Just incredible. Love to see this turn out because the Northwell Ironman New York race, was originally scheduled to happen September 26 if you remember but then it had to be moved because of the nor'easter so it's nice that they got a good weekend
