And it's not so much for me to say, but I feel that we have done a really good job, you know, that we did something special, that we've made hopefully a bit of a difference.

Two world record attempts, one being the fastest time to achieve an Ironman distance triathlon on every continent.

For those that don't know, an Ironman, a full Ironman is a 3.8K swim, which is roughly 40 football fields, followed by a 180K bike, which is a cycle from London to Manchester, followed by a full marathon.

And that's kind of, that's back to back as a single event.

Begin Again with Davina McCall
Spencer Matthews: The Real Reason I Push Myself So Hard...

Seven times, and we went from London to Arizona, to Cape Town, to Perth, to Dubai, to Rio, and finished in Antarctica.

and only two people have ever done an Ironman in Antarctica before.
