At the start of the month, the ultra-extreme triathlete, Pascal Pich broke the world record for the number of Ironman statics over a year: 117, i.e. 444.6 km of swimming, 21,060 km of cycling, and for finish 4,936.8 km of running. A phenomenon.
baptized « No Limit », this somewhat crazy project began in May 2022. And it was within the framework of the Foire de Paris that it was accomplished. For this last stage in Paris, the 59-year-old soldier from Gard covered: a double Ironman (7.6 km swim / 360 km bike / 84 km run), alternating between swimming in a pool once morest the current, cycling on a fixed-gear home trainer and running on a mechanical treadmill. Let’s remember that last December, he chained 11 Ironman during the Salon Nautique in Paris. In total, Pascal Pich realized in static 117 Ironmans in 365 daysmaking him the world record holder in the specialty.
So many exploits that we should obviously not try to copy. Pascal Pich, let us remember, is followed by scientists. The latter collect data from this force of nature and contribute to studies by INSEP in particular. Pushing the limits of the human body, this extreme triathlete is notably holder of 19 world records (14 in ultra triathlon and 5 in ultra cycling). “Setting goals is one thing, meeting them is another,” he likes to say.
This initiative is also intended solidarity, because beyond the world record attempt, Pascal Pich’s objective is to highlight causes with which he shares values. During the Paris Fair until May 8 at Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, it collecting donations for three charities : “Rêves de kid” which fights for the acceptance of differences and inclusion, “Positive Waves for Hyperinsulinism” and “Retinitis Pigmentaire Research Information”. Waiting for a next challenge.
