91 and still going

91 Year old Arthur Gilbert celebrated completing his 41st race.

Arthur carried the torch last month, and since then he has taken part in 41 triathlon events. He has also completed a 500m swim, a 20km bike ride and a 5k run. And overall he finished in 2 hours 47 minutes and 22 seconds. To do this he goes to the gym twice a week, goes cycling for 25 minutes everyday and swimming where he does 50 laps! After the race he said "It was really hard work and it gets even harder when you get older".
