The real estate agent from Utah indulged in a triathlon training program that at times was straight out of a couch potato's handbook.
Rob Lea needed that not-so-routine diet to gain a little extra weight for his not-so-ordinary sort of climb, swim and bike endeavor he called “The Ultimate World Triathlon.”
Lea scaled Mount Everest through whipping wind, swam in the frigid waters of the English Channel while enduring constant jellyfish stings and rode his bike, through painful saddle sores, from one American coast to the other.
All in six months, too.
