This arduous event was held in Bolton on Sunday 4 August and comprises a 2.4 mile (3.8km) swim, 112 mile (180km) bike ride and 26.2 mile marathon run - which Ed completed in an incredible 12 hours, 41 minutes and 49 seconds, finishing 547th out of a total of 1602 contestants.

Quoting the wording on his victor's medal "anything is possible", Ed said that the event was an amazing experience and raised close to £1700 for his chosen charity, Scope.
