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 toothy7

Sounds interesting

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

Lightweight !!!

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

Well he did it....

Impressive swim. 5.5 miles in two and a half hours. Then doing the BGR in 27 hours after that bike ride - astounding.....
