In June of 2011, Gerry decided to test his body even further by signing up for a truly amazing challenge. Along with 19 other hopefuls Gerry arrived at the start line of the DECA Enduroman challenge, an event that required competitors to complete an ironman distance triathlon not just once, but every day for 10 consecutive days. Each day competitors had to swim 3.8km, cycle 190 km and run a full marathon of 42.2 km.
At 5 to midnight on June 12th 2011 a wet, fatigued, muddy but smiling Gerry crossed the finish line for the last time. Completing a staggering average of 16 hours of endurance per day, over the previous 10 days Gerry had swam 38km’s, cycled 1,800km’s and ran 420km’s. Of the 20 people who started, only 3 finished. Gerry finished first by over 22 hours.

I'm totally fascinated by this dude. I heard him on the radio today, he used to be a 240lb couch potato and started running from scratch. Does motivational speaking full-time as well now. What a guy, seems really humble too.

Anyone with that kind of endurance must have sparked the Government's interests years ago.

It's stories like this that make you aware of how amazing the human spirit can be.

Yeah, and he's legit too I googled it, check for yourself. He said on radio his lowpoint was 7 hours in every day where he was cycling saying to himself, "why am I doing this? Gerry, you signed up for this, you wanted to be here" and he said he used a few mental techniques to help him sometimes. One lady who entered it, by day 9 she was fast asleep on her bike at the side of the road, she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore, she got so little sleep she used to just sleep in her swimsuit she hadn't the energy to change her clothes.
Every day he takes 30 seconds and thinks to himself "what am I grateful for?"

Was Deca taken for this challenge? If not i don't know how this is bodybuilding related. Please move it to the alpha boards.

As cool as this is, the guy may have some kind of mental illness...Didn't Forest Gump run for months at a time?

This guy's joints must be pretty messed up

Pff any bodybuilder could do that too. But they can't risk going catabolic. ;D
