Amazing achievement!
A South Belfast man has set a new world record after completing a staggering 25 half-triathlons in the space of seven months.
Brian has been taking on a '70.3' triathlon every weekend, which involves a 1.2 mile swim, 56 miles on the bike and a half-marathon . "It was an emotional moment. I suppose beforehand I was wondering if there would be any people there at the end. "I have been doing my challenge on the Sunday, and then I do a recovery session on the Monday which is an hour or 90 minutes on the bike. And it is a tough enough cycle.Brian's record attempt last weekend saw him take in a 1.2-mile swim at Ballyholme beach, a 56-mile cycle around the Ards Peninsula and a final run from Ballyholme Yacht Club to Donaghadee Lighthouse and back which measures exactly a half-marathon.
"If I turned up to an arranged event, it would have been a lot easier. I did one organised event in Nottingham which was so handy." He added: "I have engaged with 2,500 young people and have been doing sessions with Queen's School of Psychology.
