50% human, 50% mad man, 100% committed

Earlier this week I was having my lunch break in front of my computer and, as I often do, going through the various news and sport pages on the BBC website and something caught my eye quite suddenly, ‘Teacher aims to Swim the Atlantic in Global Triathlon’. I thought, ‘That can’t be right’ so I clicked on the article and was amazed that that was exactly what the article meant, no mistake nor misunderstanding, this man called Dan Martin was planning to swim across the Atlantic Ocean during an attempt at a global triathlon.

As I read on two questions arose in my mind, how is he planning on doing it and is he mentally all there? After I read the article over the next couple of days Dan started popping up all over the place and I found his adventure all the more intriguing. So I got in touch to find out more about his audacious challenge. You can read my interview shortly in Sport Talk at intosport.com.
