Enduroman Arch 2 Arc
In 2011 Rachel Cadman is attempting to become the first woman to complete the Enduroman Arch 2 Arc triathlon and thus set a new world record for this event. This is one of the most gruelling triathlon events in the world. The event starts with an 84mile run from Marble Arch in London to the Dover coast, is followed by a swim across the English Channel to the French coast, and concludes with an 184 mile cycle ride from the French coast to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The clock starts when you leave Marble Arch and doesn't stop again until nearly 300 miles later when athletes cross the line in Paris.
