It’s amazing. Keep going. This is something no one else would do.
Personally, I hate even having to swim the 3800m in the pool just to be sure. So dull…
But then, turbo (and butt) hell…for 5 hours odd!
To do this is above and beyond. I’d never have finished any half let alone IM distance without support of some sort…nearly there, now just walk it home!!
Go on Joex, incredible thing to do. Only a half marathon left to do now, you can do it.
Good skills buddy. Not to worry about physicality now, it’s all down to the grey blob upstairs.
Keep firing.
I’ve done two half’s bike and run indoors after the swim …
One steady, one balls out…
A full would be a different animal completely.
After doing IMUK this year with three of us, and lots and lots of support along the way, what Joex is doing demands respect irrespective of time… he must be a bit mad…!?
As it’s my job I can tell you he is wonderfully eccentric, to be celebrated, and in no way insane!! 
I agree… I think it’s brill, I’d like to do it myself one day, but millions would disagree with us both …
I love adventures like this! It’s what keeps it fruity.
Go on, buddy! You’ve done something hardly anyone could do! It will be all worth it when you are relaxing with a cold drink soon!
Just…keep…swimming…
Ground control to major joe…
He’s a junky? Are you saying this insanity he’s doing is drug fueled?
Hopefully major Joe is in the pub, or the bath.
Just trying to establish contact…
Or in a bath in the pub!
Nah, class As in an IM obvs a bad idea, but sincerely hoping he has finished and skipped us all in favour of a muscle soothe soak…
Joex was run/walk 3 hours ago, at halfway of mara, so finishing about now??
That was my maths. I’ve been abysmal in IMs but always managed sub 3 for half, no matter how much I walk.
Come on Joe!!
We’re is he…?!!
Done!
Awesome. Well done!!!
