So seven Ironmans.
We were aiming for 21 days.
And then also the fastest Ironman in Antarctica as a kind of double-headed thing.
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.
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.
I was the third and the fastest, which is great.
You know, and actually it never really, that second record was a bit of a cherry on top.
You know, I never really spent too long thinking about that, but obviously nice to have a target and a bit of friendly competition.
I managed to speak to the guy who inspired the whole journey, Connor Eminey.
He's a triathlete from Toronto.
And he was just incredible, lovely heart, very kind man, you know, just really helpful, gave me loads of great advice.
And, you know, we were doing this for a number of reasons, which I'm sure we'll get into, but it was... Yeah, I want to talk to you about that.
Pretty special time in my life again, and, you know, just delighted to be home.
Kids surprised me at the airport.
Yeah, it was an incredible feeling.
Obviously, my gorgeous wifey, you know, Vogue...
was doing The Jungle at exactly the same time.
It was unfortunate timing.
