Former Alcoholic Targets 70 Triathlons in 70 Days

WHY WOULDN’T HE? –

Dec. 3, 2021 – Before the pandemic, Mr Stone worked as a scuba instructor overseas, but had to return to Staffordshire when tourism dried up.

He has taken a year off to focus on his latest challenge and hopes to set two Guinness World Records for the most triathlons in a year and the most consecutive ones in a year.

“I am very fortunate to be in the position that I am in and I just really want to find out what I am capable of. And if this goes well, maybe there will be something else in the future,” he said.

To prepare, Mr Stone completed 17 consecutive triathlons of 17 miles each in April and 35 of 35 miles in September and October, raising more than £3,000 for charity.

His efforts in 2022 will raise money for mental health and addiction charities, he said.
