An incredible weekend from my athlete Jim Mockford. Jim is training for Ironman Wales 2027 and in preparation for this he entered the Tenby LongA Course Weekend event which consists of the full Ironman distance over 3 days. On Friday evening Jim swam 2 loops of the choppy and cool sea in Tenby to total 2.4 miles in a time of 1hr 9min. The following day he took on the Welsh hills and wind with a 112 mile bike loop which he completed in 9hrs (total elevation of 9000ft), moving onto the Sunday with just over 12 hours of recovery and Jim completing the challenging and hilly 26.2 mile marathon on foot in just 5hrs. Three medals to show for all the hard work and a good step in learning what we need to work on for next year! Congratulations Jim!
