James Simpson finished first out of the six who lasted and raised more than £13,000 for charity
The gruelling challenge saw Mr Simpson complete a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile cycle and run 26.2 miles for 10 consecutive days."At the moment I'm struggling to walk much, but I think that will be gone over the next couple of weeks," he said."It was a bit of a surprise [to finish first], but I feel amazing about it.
Mr Simpson is raising money for Sisu Derbyshire, which is working with Alfreton Town Council on the Active8 Alfreton Project to encourage people to take part in physical activity. Having exceeded his original target of £5,000, he thanked Alfreton residents for their support and his technical team for helping him over the line."I had a particularly bad day on day three I think - I felt really very poorly that day - but my support crew literally made the world of difference.
"They got me to eat the correct nutrients, they said the right things to me, so by the end of the day I felt like I had weathered my first major storm, and once I'd done that then I knew I'd get through it.Follow BBC East Midlands on
