400 Mile

Hello there,

I'm Ryan Davin aka The chillishamrock. Starting 00.00 on the 1st July 2021, I’m attempting to be the first person in history to complete a  400 mile triathlon starting in Dublin and finishing in London which consists of a 60 mile run, a 96 mile ocean row (Ireland to UK) and a 245 mile cycle, all powered by human muscle and mental fortitude within 90 hours time frame. I’m embarking on this challenge for two reasons

 

1: To raise vital funds for a mental health charities and prove anything is possible!

2: To raise awareness for sustainability and zero carbon travel.

The 400 mile triathlon consist of:

Run (60 miles) (ETA 14 hours) 

The run begins at Dublin’s highest landmark the Spire. Running 60 miles south via the Wicklow mountains to Arklow harbour in County  Wicklow.

Ocean Row (96 miles) (ETA 48 hours)

The row departs Arklow harbour, following the Celtic challenge route 96 miles ocean row across the Irish sea to Aberystwyth, Wales. I will be accompanied by two others in the boat for safety reasons. My rowing partner will be Mathew Pritchard who appeared on Dirty Sanchz back in the day and most recently hosted the first BBC Vegan cookery show Dirty Vegan. This row will be good training for my up and      coming row across the Atlantic. 

Cycle (245 miles) (ETA 20 hours) 

The final leg will be a 245 mile cycle from Aberystwyth, Wales to London with 15,000 ft worth of climbing which is the equivalent to x14  Shards stacked on top of each other. Finishing at the Shard, London!
