    English channel - sad news

    Douglas Waymark dies attempting to swim English Channel - BBC News

    I am totally gutted. Spent several laps with him at Enduroman 2015 where he came 2nd in continuous quin. And it September 2016 where he was crewing for one of the top athletes at the Brutal(who has completed 100 50+ mile runs).

    I love his IM Sweden story. He looked at his bike computer and saw he was on for a 4:40 cycle. He was so stunned he did not look up. The road turned but he did not. He broke an arm and bike handlebars.

    He still did a 5 hour cycle and completed the marathon.

    Amazing guy. Very inspirational.

    Perhaps the only consolation was he died doing what he loved.
