The Ironman is a series of extreme athletic events held across the world and consists of a 3.86 km swim, a 180.25 km cycle race and a 42.2 km run. All in a single day.
Mr Soman, who was the National Swimming champ in India for four years before making it big as a supermodel, was reportedly one of seven Indians to have participated in this year's Swiss Ironman in Zurich.
On Twitter, Mr Soman maintained a meticulous training record, starting with Day 1:
