Introduction

Welcome.
This blog is an experiment about an experiment.
It is about the Everyman sleep schedule.
It is about the Ironman Triathlon.
It is about me attempting both.
Everyman sleep is a polyphasic sleep schedule. A lot of people have heard of Uberman sleep, where a person takes a 20-minute nap every four hours, for a total of two hours of sleep every 24-hour day. Well, Everyman is a modification where the person sleeps for three hours and then takes three 20-minute naps. This cuts daily sleep down to four hours. What would you do with four extra hours every day to do whatever you want?
Well, one of the things that I am going to do is train for an Ironman Triathlon.
An Ironman Triathlon is a race where a person swims for 2.4 miles (3.86 kilometers), rides a bike for 112 miles (180.2 kilometers), and then runs a marathon (26.2 miles/42.195 kilometers). Sounds fun, no?
There are going to be a lot of really interesting things in this blog and a lot of deeply boring things in this blog. Umm, I hope. Both of those statements require that there are a lot of things in this blog, which means I need to put them there.
