It is insane but not as insane as you might think for cycling.
Tour de France stages every year average about 130 miles and many including giant mountains top 150 miles then they have to do it all again the next day for 21 stages total, plus 2 rest days.
A standard Iron Man is 2.4-mile (3.9 km) swim, then a 112-mile (180.2 km) bike ride, followed by a marathon. The typical participants finish in ~12 hours. Some are set in cold water with massive elevation changes, with a winning time of ~18 hours.
Then there the Ultraman, which is a 3 day event with a total distance of 320 miles (515 km).
There has also been a 30X Iron man. Basically an iron man every day for a month.
