Using just my own human power I made my way from Lake Bala in Wales to the top of the iconic Ben Nevis in Scotland in 4 days, 7 hours and 58 minutes.

In true ‘Andrea’ fashion, I didn’t take the easy route. Instead I swam the longest lake in each of the 3 countries that I passed through, navigating my way on bike to the foot of the highest peak in each respective country and finishing off I ran up to the top to make sure I get a view of where I have just come from!

That is the…

3 Longest Lakes, 3 highest Peaks, 800km of Cycling, 4 Records

… once again my goal was to do this in just 5 days!

To put this into some perspective…

The Swim alone is:

• Almost double the 33.8 km of the English channel!
• 1 km = 20 x olympic size swimming pools.
• 66 km = 1,320 x olympic size (50 m) swimming pools.

The Ride alone is:

• Equivalent to 20 Olympic Distance Triathlon Bike Legs
• Equivalent to 4.5 Ironman Triathlon Bike Legs

The Run alone is:

• Equivalent to running the London marathon but climbing over 1000 flights of stairs on the way!

All 3 together make:

• MY EPIC

Record attempts

• 1st triathlon record, fastest known person to swim lake Bala, cycle to and run Snowdon.
• 2nd triathlon record, fastest known person to swim lake Windermere, cycle to and run Scafell.
• 3rd triathlon record, fastest known person to swim Loch Awe, cycle to and run Ben Nevis.
• 4th record, fastest known person to swim and run the longest lake and highest peak in Wales, England and Scotland, cycling in between.

A word on the distances of the challenge as there are multiple challenges like the 3 peaks that have differing distances. As there is a large distance in between to cover we will attempt to approximate the distances.

I am aware of the incredible challenge completed by Frankie Tinsley, whilst he has completed the 3 lakes and the 3 peaks we both agree our challenges are somewhat different and to the best of my knowledge my record attempts still stand.
