Answer 1

No man they have it all wrong are you talking about the blind guy who did the South African Ironman event in April tied to his friend? His name is Francois Jacobs, he swan 3,8 km, cycled 180 km and then ran 42 km all whilst being tied to his friend http://www.ironmansouthafrica.com/defaul...

Found an American woman. Couldn't find the South African.

But if you do find the man.....

I hope you are going to write about the friend as well. It couldn't have been easy having to run a marathon tied to someone, having to be their eyes, keep at their pace etc.

Don't forget the friend!!
