Ultimate iron man challenge: Runner takes on gruelling desert super marathon with board strapped to his back
Eye of Sauron
For those who aren't big clickers and therefore don't get the "iron man" double entendre, it wasn't a random piece of wood or a snowboard... this is a dude who ran Marathon des Sables (a big stage race in the desert) with an ironing board on his back.
No shit.
'It's all about doing something extreme and taking pictures of yourself ironing in unusual locations.
And once again Mr. Wizard (aka: Stevie Ray) explains the internet.
taking pictures of yourself ironing in unusual locations.
Wait. Is that what the kids are doing now? Planking, owling, Jolieing, ironing?
I'm too old for this shit.

I think I am board with the stunt running.
I don't recall anyone pressing you for your opinion.
MTA: Please don't get steamed by my snark.
Don't press too hard while running in the desert, can burn you.
I think this is really dumb. Now what's this jolieing you're talking about?

Obviously the guy did this out of boardom
I knew something smalcolm didn't! And I'm old! I knew about jolieing.
I don't know about 'owling'.
I am scared to google it.
I do that when I see a mouse on the floor.
I like this version a lot better:
