Valtteri Bottas completed a DIY Ironman challenge during his vacation in the Turk and Caicos Islands, swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles on Peloton, and running a 26.22-mile marathon on a treadmill in his villa. The challenge, done on a whim with minimal preparation, took him nearly 11 hours to finish. Bottas mentioned that he sometimes regretted taking on the challenge but wanted to push himself and prove what he is capable of. Despite feeling stiff the next day, he was able to recover and even play pickleball, reflecting on the mental resilience required for such endurance events. After the Ironman, he went on to bike ride through Death Valley before heading to Las Vegas for a race.
