Singaporean Kua Harn Wei does 5 ultra triathlons in 21 weeks (don’t bother adding the distances up)

Kua Harn Wei is an ultra triathlete who almost drowned while trying out for the Naval Diving Unit. The near death experience - as well as a humiliating lecture for not learning how to swim - spurred him to teach himself swimming. By 2003, he had set his personal best of 10hr 49min in an Ironman-distance time trial. Currently an Assistant Professor at NUS, Harn Wei has also completed the Deca Iron World Challenge - a race where he completed 1 Ironman per day for 10 consecutive days.
