Queen's Sport fitness trainer Aidan McGlynn is taking on the ultimate sporting challenge by competing in the UK Ironman competition in Sherborne, North Hampshire on Sunday 7 September.

Facing up to the daunting challenge Aidan said: "I have been doing Triathlons for five years, with the biggest distance being the Olympic 1,500m sea swim, 40km cycle and 10km run, but this will be the ultimate endurance challenge. For an idea of the distance I will be covering, it's like going from Belfast to Derry and back by swimming, running and cycling."

"Competing isn't just about being physically fit," Aidan said.

Wishing him good luck was Eithne Bradley Acting Head of Queen's Sport who said: "Everyone at Queen's is wishing Aidan well.

Aidan has trials in January for the Irish Road Racing Cycle Team. He is confident he will have recovered in time to start training after only four weeks. If successful, he will take part in the World Championships which are being held in Spain next July.
