Mile-057-Enduro Challenge London to Paris Triathlon

Hello everyone and welcome to todays show. It follows us on an amazing 460km adventure as Team Virtualis run, swim and bike 460km from London to Paris

Its the 7th annual "Enduro Challenge a 6 person team relay event that takes place between teams in the finance sector in London. The challenge is to:
  • Run 120 km from London to Dover
  • Swim 40 km from Dover to Calais in France
  • Cycle 300 km from Calais to Paris
We are onboard with Team Virtualis as I was handling logistics, driving and website / tracking for the team.

Follow our adventure through the hillsides of Kent, find out more about the infamous "Bucket Club" and on to the finish at the Eiffel Tower.

The team came together from friends across Price Waterhouse, Goldman Sachs, Citadel LLC, Credit Suisse, Serpentine Running Club and JPMorgan and we took on UBS, Barclays Capital, Credit Suisse and Accenture in the frantic race through day and night to Paris

Follow the adventure as the team (to strict Channel Swimming rules) have to swim in the cold English Channel in just their speedos and then time trial to the City of Light.

Its a great an unusual adventure.
