Sad news, and RIP Douglas Waymark.

Thoughts with family and friends.

I heard about that particular Arch to Arc event a while ago. It's insane: run from Marble Arch to Dover, swim the Channel then cycle from Calais to the Arc de Triumphe. Might have got the cycle/run legs mixed up - but it's still one of the craziest iron man events I've ever heard of.

Much longer than an Iron Man. Run is at least 3 x iron man (marathon) distance.
