A dad-of-one is hoping to create a new world record by doing a 140.6-mile triathlon while just breathing through his nose.
Ryan Abbott, 43, is set to take on a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.22-mile run, next month but he won’t be able to breathe through his mouth. He will start the 140.6-mile challenge by swimming–wearing a snorkel adapted to prevent him from breathing through his mouth.
Abbott will then cycle along the Leeds to Liverpool canal in England, in the U.K., and then will finish his challenge by running along the canal. He will only open his mouth while eating or drinking.
