A Geordie who completed the 'hardest triathlon on the planet' has spoken of his pride after completing the mammoth challenge.
Originally from Newcastle, Richard Stabler now lives in London working as a commercial director for Getty Images and is one of just 48 people worldwide who have completed the prestigious Enduroman Arch to Arc Triathlon which starts at Marble Arch, London and stops at the Arc de Triomphe, Paris.
The gruelling triathlon begins with an 87-mile undulating run (140 km) from London's Marble Arch to Dover on the Kent coast, then a cross-Channel swim to the French coast, and finishes with a 180-mile undulating (289.7 km) bike ride from Calais to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
