- Arch 2 Arc - Heartache for Nicky....
Nicky Farrugia came
agonisingly close to becoming Enduroman No 6 last week, however
due to the cold waters of the English Channel and exhaustion
from the 84 mile run, Nicky's dream came to end only 1 mile from
the French coast.
A brave attempt from a fantastic athlete from Malta.
Race
report from Eddie Ette:
"I was very excited to meet Nicky, a triathlete and open water
swimmer of immense history and achievements. While waiting for
the weather to allow an attempt at the A2A, I had a great time
talking with him about past events and athletes we had both met.
Severe stomach cramps and retching forced us to stop the swim
for the athlete’s safety one mile from the French coast. Nicky
expressed his disappointment and wanted to continue but we could
not allow it. Taken from the water, cold and miserable, the
character and strength of Nicky came quickly to the surface when
he said he would still wish to do the bike from Calais to Paris
to hopefully still raise the funds promised to the charity.
Nicky started the bike and quickly showed a strong consistent
pace that would cover the mileage within 14 hours. Then after
110km, bad luck struck again – Bike broken, body damaged – The
event was finished.
Personally I hope Nicky will return again to attempt the
challenge. I know from what I have seen during the four days of
the event and five days waiting to start, the man is more than
capable of being successful.
A successful A2A challenge requires the athlete to have a
massive endurance base, extremely strong mental attitude,
tolerance to pain and good luck".

10-08-08 - Double Iron - Letters from the athletes
Read
here what the athletes thought
of the 2008 event
07-08-08 - Double Iron - Hywel Davies - Winner 2008
"In
2000 I won Ultrafit, Tough Guy, X Zone, Indoor Rowing and an
Adventure race and thought that was the pinnacle. In 2006 I won
3 Half Ironmans, won age group at IMUK and went to Hawaii.
I thought that was it.
But the point is...everything
I went through on Sunday eclipsed the lot. I have never
felt so happy with myself and never felt such a sense of
achievement which that race brought to me. The people that
mattered to me were there and most importantly, I know what I
went through".
