Charlie Wittmack is an Iowan who has twice summited Mount Everest, and the only person in history to complete the World Triathlon.

The World Tri crosses 13 countries in 11 months, beginning with a 275-mile swim down the River Thames in England to the icy North Atlantic Sea and across the English Channel. Then onto a 9000-mile bicycle ride across Europe and Asia, over many of the world's most rugged and remote mountain ranges, and across hundreds of miles of barren sand desert, before climbing over the Himalaya to the Indian Ocean and Calcutta. The triathlon concludes with a super-ultra 950-mile run from sea level at the Bay of Bengal, up into the Himalaya, to the top of the world and the summit of Mount Everest.
