  • 105 Iron-Distance triathlons, over 105 consecutive days sounded almost impossible to believe, until Sean Conway did just that! But how did he do it? We sent Mark to record-breaking day 102 to speak with his team about daily recovery, nutrition, family life, and how they made this dream reality!

    There will be somebody out there now plotting to try and break this record. And that is another of the amazing outcomes from Sean's super human achievement. James Lawerence before him, inspired Sean and now we will see another, sometime, try to climb further up the mountain as humans are inspired by one another, and where we think Sean is the toughest mentally, another will appear and go even farther, and thats what makes sport so damn exciting. The human potential is truly endless.

    Hi, I done Ironman Kalmar last Saturday, my 9:th Ironman. When I was struggling in the running, I thought of Sean , and what he did became so much incredible.
    I started to do jokes with myself and told me , well tomorrow I will do this again. 🤪. It really felt impossible.
    I convinced my legs that they will do it again in Kona/Hawaii. My legs didn’t be so happy.
    Is it possible that the body adapts to do it.
    Sean is really amazing but it’s amazing what the body is capable to do.
    My best regards

    Jonas Deichmann has stared his journey to break this record. Physically he is very much on par, if not stronger than shawn, but I think there is a major flaw in Jonas plan. He is not at home, he has a rented apartment. That will be mentally draining eventually, i am quite sure.

      They followed the rules set by Guinness. Ironcowboy also used a team to draft off. A lot of the clips used in this video are from the final day, in which A LOT of people turned up to support. Many days Sean was riding and running on his own, or with just 1 or 2 other people
