A man with a muscle-wasting condition said it “feels epic” to have completed a gruelling Ironman triathlon, seven minutes within the 17-hour cut-off time.

Chris Stennett, from Felixstowe, Suffolk, said that, within two months of being diagnosed with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) at the age of 26, he decided he “wasn’t going to let it hold me back”.

Now 30, the copywriter has successfully tackled Ironman Austria for charity.
