We all look to challenge ourselves with fitness challenges. Some climb mountains, run 1/2 marathons or marathons or even building up to a triathlon. However some are not content with that and take on something much more challenging - an Iron-man.
Club member Tony Harpur headed off to Barcelona to take tackle the tough distance involved, a sensible shortened swim due to tough sea conditions, 180km cycle into strong headwinds for large sections and finishing with 'just' a marathon as the run section of the event.
A challenging event but he was well up for it.
Congratulations Tony and his equally mad brother Mark on the superb achievement and now you can be called true Iron-men.
Enjoy the recovery
