Endurance athlete Sean Conway has finally called time on his iron challenge after completing 105 long-distance triathlons in 105 days.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sean set the new world record<\/a><\/strong> for the most number of iron-distance triathlons completed on consecutive days on Thursday 20 July, after he finished his 102nd day.<\/p>\n

That put him clear of James Lawrence\u2019s (AKA, the Iron Cowboy) previous record<\/a><\/strong>, which had been 101 long-distance triathlons in 101 days.<\/p>\n

However, last Friday Sean appeared at the swimming pool on day 103 having decided to do an extra one<\/a><\/strong>, just as James had done when setting the previous record.<\/p>\n

Arriving at the pool that morning, Sean said: \u201cUp until yesterday, I\u00a0had\u00a0<\/em>to do them. Now I want to see if I can cope doing them when I don\u2019t have to do them. So we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite a bit of a hangover, Sean proceeded to smash out another iron-distance triathlon, finishing with a time of 15 hours and 12 minutes.<\/p>\n
