The global triathlon

If you thought a Marathon was tough and an Ironman down right ridiculous then you’ve probably not come across the rare breed of ultra endurance athletes. Imagine doing back to back Ironmen, now imagine doing 10 back to back Ironmen. You get the picture.

The Decaironman is established enough to have it’s own site and annual events. Discussing this this morning with a colleague he mentioned that next year there will be a triple decaironman. Jokingly I said the next step would be to attempt round the world. A quick Google later and I found some nutter/adventurer/explorer who is – Dan Martin.

My favourite line on his site danmartinextreme.com is his concern for getting barnacles whilst attempting to swim the Atlantic. Good luck amigo!
