PORTFOLIO OF PAIN

MATT PRITCHARD LISTS HIS THREE MOST PAINFUL DIRTY

SANCHEZ MOMENTS, ALONGSIDE HIS THREE TOUGHEST ENDURANCE CHALLENGES

DIRTY SANCHEZ 1. ‘ SANDPAPER ARSE’

Pritchard was dragged naked along a mat of grip tape, before having salt and vinegar poured onto his wounds.

2. HAVING A SHOTGUN FIRED AT HIM

Pritchard was wearing a bulletproof vest, but some shot pierced the material and went into his arm. The cameraman then informed a dazed Pritchard that he had forgotten to press play.

3. ' STINGY NETTLES'

Pritchard and the other members of the team jumped naked into a bush of stinging nettles, which he describes as ‘like taking a bad acid tab and enduring 10 hours of hell’.

ENDURANCE 1. JOHN O’GROATS TO LAND’S END

A 900-mile run from one end of the UK to the other in 30 days.

2. TRIPLE IRONMAN

Pritchard finished third at the 2016 Enduroman, an ultradistance triathlon involving a 7.2-mile swim, 336-mile cycle and 76.8-mile run.

3. 30 HALF IRONMANS IN 30 DAYS

In early 2016, Pritchard set a world record when he completed a half Ironman (swam 1.2 miles, cycled 56 miles and ran 13.1 miles) every day for 30 days. He broke a rib on day nine when he was blown off his bike, but he refused to give up.
