Viceroy ‘Ironman Andrew’ took the next staggering step towards his season’s goal of achieving the treble within a year as he headed to Bolton to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run a 26.2 mile marathon… back to back.

It was a great race for him, as he took an hour off last year’s time. An exhausted Andrew tells us: ‘…swim was good but busy with arms and legs in faces… I smashed the bike which Viceroys training rides really helped…until I ran out of gels. Went into survival mode….got to T2, hoovered some gels and biscuits and the onto the marathon…started with ironman shuffle and then found some speed 12kph mid section until the end and came in to incredible crowds.

Body suffering today but looking ahead to Ironman Wales….bring on the treble.’
