Wasn'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!

All the best to him.
Mike Mason has been refused offers of help for the navigation

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

Rule No1 - Bring Map
Rule No2 - Blame Map when Lost
Rule No3 - Run like you've never run before to make up lost time
Rule No4 - Feel dissatisfied with your efforts on the day
Rule No5- Put up with endless ridicule
Rule No6- Never get lost again
Rule No7- Ignore the first 6 Rules and make the same mistake again |
