For those of you who are wondering, how hard can that be, Nick will be:
- swimming 4km in Ellingham Lake, (about 3.5 miles), starting at around 5.30am and taking about 1.30 to 2 hours.
- He then has to jump on his bike and cycle 180km, (that’s about 112 miles), taking about 5-6 hours and finally..
- he finishes that off with a marathon, yes a full one 26.2 miles…which will most probably take him about 4-4.30 hours.
Good luck, the subsequent Ironman tattoo that he is entitled to have etched onto his ankle will most probably hurt more.
