Full Description

In September 2003 Andy Mouncey became only the second person ever to successfully complete the Enduroman Arch to Arc Challenge. This solo triathlon comprises of an 87 mile run from London to Dover, swimming the 22 miles of the English Channel, then cycling 180 miles from Calais to Paris - all done as close together as possible. Andy set new fastest times for each of the stages. But Andy's journey was much more than simply running swimming and cycling. It involved a training program that changed his life and affected much more than his physical fitness. This is his story.
