ironman

Grueling triathlon finisher

Ironman typically refers to an extreme endurance race combining a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and full marathon run—or to someone who competes in one.

More broadly, an ironman is anyone who demonstrates exceptional stamina or toughness: He's the ironman of the department, never missing a day.

In baseball, an ironman plays every game without rest.
