Ultra TriathlonWasn't sure whether to put this in the Ultra listings or here. This guy is attempting to swim 5.5 miles in Coniston, 114 mile bike ride and then the Bob Graham Round!http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=514663 All the best to him. Mike Mason has been refused offers of help for the navigation :toothy7: Mark |

Sounds interesting
But shouldn’t the bike section be around 250 miles, to keep it in line with the other sections ? Lightweight !!! |

The bike may feel like 250 mile ride at the end of it.....

http://www.cumberland-news.co.uk/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=522233 Impressive swim. 5.5 miles in two and a half hours. Then doing the BGR in 27 hours after that bike ride - astounding..... Mark |
