  sub10% body fat, more years into sport means less % body fat, gets to around 4-5, short practical haircut, no hair on body (waxed or shaved), always tanned (spends 4+ hours on sun every day), wears sports clothes, spends a lot of money on bike and little on car and regular clothes, looks 10-20 years younger than she/he is   bad side is definitely being too relaxed about clothing, the more you spend emerssed in the ultra distance obsession the less you care about fashion and such things, also being so lean is not perfect for sex - you can cut your partner with your hips

society interaction
sex, love, marriage, parents, friends ...
  anywhere an ironman athletes goes in the world he will meet people obssesed by the race and will easily communicate with them   people who do not experience the extreme lifestyle of 25+ hours of endurance training with no financial reward at the end of it can not relate with the stereotype, hence stereotype is introvert and isolated

job, hobby, sport, illegal ...
  swim bike run 30 hours a week, alone, on the road and in the pool   picky about food yet an overeater, not much energy for social activities

  obsessed   obsessed

future
what will this personality stereotype achieve ...
  can quit (although thats not the real stereotype), can keep at it forever with medium results and constant improvement), or can transform from housewife to world champion in 10 years   professional life is neglected, and is very hard as well to maintain all other aspects of life, depends on how resourceful he or she is, being so sporty (focused) can create extreme isolation like with anything else
