While the world’s top triathletes gathered in Nice for the Ironman World Championships, Mark set off on a different kind of challenge — one without finish lines or cheering crowds.
His journey led him deep into the French Alps, cycling 200km through remote mountain roads, swimming across the turquoise waters of Lac de Castillon, and running up a peak with breathtaking views.
