Shaun's training challenge

You will recall that our Shaun Good completed the Copenhagen Ironman competition in 2019. Shaun’s achievement was particularly impressive as, up until two years ago, he had a fear of the water (having had a traumatic experience as a child) and one third of Ironman events is swimming.

There have been no Ironman events since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic but it has not stopped Shaun’s athletic endeavours. He completed a 100 kilometer indoor rowing challenge in the month of November and a demanding 10 day training schedule: 10.5 km swim, 263.5 km bike and 46.5 km run.

At 56 Shaun is a shining example to fellow Rotarians in how to overcome adversity even if his fitness regime is a little extreme for most.
