Here's an event that makes the usual Ironman Triathlon look like a fun run.....The Enduroman.
Starting at Marble Arch in the centre of London, participants run 87 miles to Dover on the coast....then swim 21 miles across the English Channel to Calais in France.....and then cycle 181 miles to the Arc de Triomphe in the centre of Paris.
Rachael Cadman from the UK is going to attempt this and be the first woman to complete the event. To date, only 7 men have managed to complete the distance. The current record from London to Paris is 87 hours.......just over 3 days.
An interview on BBC Radio 5 can be heard HERE
