Mar(e)k - the only relatable person in GTN crew. 😂
Good challenge - but I think you forgot the 10k and the 1500m from the triathlon swims🤣
It would've been great to see a final table with all the times!
What about the Olympic marathon swim (10k open water)?
It's funny when former triathletes say they aren't fit. Maybe not fit compared to what they were when competing, but definitely fit compared to the average person.
Kudos to the team but specially the camera man who did his part and he mentioned he had never done that. 😅
In the long list of nutjob challenges from GTN, this must be right up there. Kudos to the team, especially Mark.👍
What about the 10k? 🤣
Now that is a challenge I can get on board with! A great achievement 😊 such a shame Mark would have been DSQ’d for an illegal finish to the 100m fly though. Now he has to wait 4 years to give it another go!
This reminds me of a college practice we would do every year where we would all race the full American high school meet order in a row. Not quite the same, but similar.
You forgot the open water events
Good work. Nice to have a pool that is not crowded.
Mark, you are crazy and fantastic for trying this! Thanks GTN crew for making this-It is SO fun watching!
It’s made me want to go swimming again. Maybe 100m. An incredible effort from Mark with his support crew.
Same I just haven't as it's been stormy all summer and same in the fall.
This is fantastic!! Major props to Mark for attempting to do butterfly. I'm saying this as a person who can't even do butterfly for 50m.
What about Artistic Swimming?!?! Unarguably a swimming event...
A local
Masters club hosts what is affectionately called the Brute Squad...for time you must complete a 200fly + 400IM and them a 1650 yd free...you can so it all at once or take breaks but once you start, the clock doesnt stop until u are done...brutal! But there is a cool T shirt and other swag so totally worth it!
Well done Mark!! That is an insane challenge.
Great show, mark with the swim elegance of a butterfly, next challenge sprint tri with only butterfly allowed for swim 🤣
You guys are amazing!!!! And funny ❤
Nice to see this old stand by on GTN! No shame (and still legal) to stop at walls for a bit of a rest. 😂
Mark… the m stands for MASHINE!!
we do this set at our swim club but without the 1500, and call it the french king set because one of our french coaches introduced us to it and swam it with the squad (it sucked in a good way)
Tip of my cap to you, Mark. Well done!
Inspiring! I’m definitely going to give this a crack!
Well done Mark, so tough , wish Heather joined you.
She had made it. But James you could also made it. Cheat with feens in the butterfly and swim one arm butterfly.
Big cred for your friends who helped you out.
Maybe one good New Year challenge.
💪🙌👏
You skipped the 10k open water. If you did that too then you really would have earned my respect!
In Germany the yearly short course team championships (DMS) are nearly the same program (all strokes 50m, 100m and 200m, plus 100, 200, 400 IM and plus 400, 800/ 1500 Free). Every team needs to swim the program twice (once with 800F, once with 1500F) and every swimmer has a maximum of 5 starts. You receive points for every single time and the team with most points wins. It is s lot of fun!
Sweet. Next time do this but for track? 😅
Gorgeous pool!
Utmost respect Mark! Wow!
Pretty sure this is one of my coaches Christmas special swim sessions 😂 it’s tough, personally I start long and work my way down!
Hm, just the pool part. Now for the open water part, 5k, 10k and 25k 😅
Where are the open water events? Just kidding, great job, no easy feat!
Nice work! But We want the times!
So, what was your elapsed time? On my birthday swim this year, rather than 100 yards for every year, which would have been 7300 yards, I got in 5500 yards in 2:20. About 2/3 was with stubby fins. Just not in shape as I was the last couple of years. About half the distance was with over arm side stroke. Of course, it would have been impossible without Precision fuel and hydration...
Challenge accepted! I will post my attempt before the end of winter
Thanks again for fun challenge suggestion, this morning I ploughed through my 4950m! My only "cheat" was I used fins for the fly and IM sets
What kind of sunscreen are you using? I’d be well done before I finished a 800
Wait, you still have 10km open water to go 🤣
where was heather????
where is the 10k Marathon swim tho?
Whats the point in James?? Every challenge I've watched so far he's quit or backed out. Lol. He seems like a nice dude! But probably not the best presenter. You want a team like the GCN guys.
No 50 Fly, back out breast?
They’re not Olympic events
