Richard takes on the final piece in his extreme preparation jigsaw by heading home to Wales to beautiful Snowdonia for a gruelling double Ironman triathlon. Of all his extreme races this was highlighted as his main deprivation test and it lived up to all expectations. In the Double Brutal athletes complete a 4.8 mile swim taking in 4 laps around Lake Padarn, followed by a 231.92 mile bike section, which passes through the Pen-y-Pass. The Double Brutal then finishes off with almost two marathons, a 51.1 mile run which begins with an ascent and descent of Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in the Wales. Due to a broken hand Richard took on two of the three elements of the Double Brutal, which saw him cycle 231.92 miles and run 51.1 miles non-stop for 37 hours, quite frankly, that was enough... yes we said non-stop for 37 hours. Prepare for more eye watering hurt and endurance from one of the toughest extreme athletes on the planet. See less
