51 Hours In, Fabio Spiteri Completes 600km Cycling And 19km Swim In 24 Hours As Mammoth Challenge Underway
Ultra-endurance athlete Fabio Spiteri is making incredible headway in his brutal 1,130km triathlon challenge to raise money for charity.
The first part involved the 19km swim, which he completed in seven hours and two minutes.
Now, he is currently completing the whopping 900km bike ride, having done around 600km from the total so far.
“19km swim and 600km bike done. Need to rest a bit. 300km bike and 211k run left,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
He also posted a snap of his legs and feet after swelling up due to the intense course he’s undertaking, saying: “swollen feet but we keep going!”
As part of the efforts for the mammoth challenge, Spiteri is raising €100,000 to be donated to animal shelters in the country.
“This was a build-up of a one-year preparation,” he said. In terms of cycling, he journeyed around Sicily non-stop for 47 hours, along with numerous 100km and 300km bike rides, a 12-hour turbo trainer indoors and two 500km bike rides.
“I have two passions in life – sports and animals. Once again this year I want to fundraise for all animal shelters and cat feeders around Malta and Gozo. Since it’s a big brutal race where I have to really dig deep into my inner reserves, I am targeting €100,000 to be distributed to all shelters, considering the big problems they face every day especially now that they are full,” he said.
