C & G
The (Fill in) & The Irish Wolf
Target: Early 2023
This curiousity of attempting an Ironman was agnited in the Gran Canary while filming the departure of Karen Weekes for the She Can Do 21 project. My blood was already adventure thickened at this stage so, when I myself and Constantin had a few, surprisently tasty pints of the black-stuff in the Irish Tavern and he suggested taking on the challenge of an Ironman, I blindly accepted.
This man, at the age of nearly 60 had completed 50 Ironman and 9 ultra's. I thought to myself, sure if I can't complete it it, surely Constantin will carry me some of the way!
