Earlier this year Henry Dayus, son of Ian and Judith Dayus, owners of Great Gizmos, decided to set himself a challenge and signed up for an Ironman which took place yesterday in Barcelona, well known as one of the toughest single day challenges you can do. The event consisted of a 3.8km sea swim, a 180km bike ride along the coast followed by a full marathon run of 42km.
Henry completed the challenge in a very respectable time of 11 hours and 47 minutes and he even had to deal with three punctures along the way. He looked very strong throughout and always had a smile on his face. The weather was good, if rather hot, and the sea fairly calm.
So far Henry has raised £2775 for the Fence Club charity. This is a fantastic charity raising money for disadvantaged children in the UK who are sick, disabled, terminally ill or from socially deprived environments. Donations can be made using the following link
