Still, he makes it though, even if it is at the cost of his quads, which he claims are 'absolutely wrecked'. Next up is the cycle, which is difficult enough, but as Crawley points out they're cycling into 'as bad a head wind as I have experienced in my entire life'.

'At one point I was swimming, and I was pretty sure I was going backwards,' Morsia said.

Morsia admits that he can't front crawl for longer than 30 seconds without struggling to breathe, but not one to let a little detail like that stop him, he does manage to complete the swim and because of the choppy waters even does an extra 238m. Still, the day starts simply enough, with Morsia and his mentor for the day, hybrid athlete Fergus Crawley, having a pre-challenge meal вЂ“ a bowl of Coco Pops вЂ“ but from there it's on to the swim section of the triathlon, and it's fair to say this is the point where the day goes south. In isolation, each of those efforts may not have been so hard, but put together and with Morsia, admittedly, having the 'cardio of a 90-year-old lawn bowls player,' this challenge certainly wasn't going to be easy. The challenge Morsia set himself was to complete a 750m swim, followed by a 20km bike ride and a 5km run. This could end quite badly for me,' he said. However, even he had to admit he may have bitten off more than he can chew by attempting to complete a sprint triathlon with no practice for his latest YouTube video. Fitness influencer and bodybuilder Matt Morsia, or MattDoesFitness as he's better known, isn't one to shirk a challenge.
