A bit of a departure from vanlife ! Hever Castle Triathlon #vanlife #triathlon #hevercastle - Video

A sprint triathlon at the beautiful Hever Castle, a surprisingly good result… and then things got a little more interesting.

I headed to Hever for the 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run, finishing in 1:38 and, more importantly, 5th in my age group.

But the real entertainment came afterwards when our mate Tom — a runner who'd apparently decided that triathlon wasn't a real sport — was persuaded to take on the Hever Castle 70.3.

Unfortunately, he'd just run 100 miles the weekend before, was borrowing my bike, my tri-suit and my shoes… which were about three sizes too big.

Oh, and he put the tri-suit on backwards.

What could possibly go wrong?
