Personal Take
Virtual challenges like this one are popping up all over the place. The physical activity providers are adapting to the situation and expanding their offers into the realm of virtual.
Of course, you still have to and be able to perform for real. It's the competition part that's being virtualized, or better said, supported via an app and a platform.
Since Strava banned Ironman from collecting the data, and I don't use any directly supported device, I'll have to export my exercises from Strava to a file, then upload it to Garmin Connect where it will be transferred to Ironman. Additional work which will be a bigger nuisance than the challenge itself :)
All the physical activity data that I display in my @exhaust and @actifit reports is gathered with the help of Coros Pace sports watch and displayed with Coros app.
