And that's only the start of it. In June 2011, this 39-year-old plumber lined up at the start of the Race Across America - a 16-day race covering 4828 kilometres from California to Maryland.This is the story of how an ordinary bloke became an ultra-endurance athlete and decided to take on the world.
