Now we need to see if a triathlete can do well in modern pentathlon. Really I just want to see Heather beat Mark in fencing :D

Awesome! I used to do my weekly run together with a horse because the horse was already quite old (around 23) she had the same speed as me. Best training partner I have ever had

I tried that, too, because I used to ride a pretty lazy horse. But, outside on runs he rediscovered that he was only 5 years old, so he was way too fast for me :D

I take my horse on runs with me occasionally, if I need to run but also need to get him out as well. It's a good change of pace and something fun to do with him besides just riding.

Needed a freehub sound check on the horse

Is there anything Heather cannot do ? BOOM!!!

First

That man was jogging not sprinting

Just as an update, man has won the race this year (after 15 years of only horses wins). Crazy story about the guys who won the race.

lovely challenge, now you know what the 'main events' like over a longer distance, Man....can be equal to horse if ground conditions dictate.....mind you did a lot more walking than I did on my MvH this year! Brilliant video clip....and hats off to Mark for the challenge. Love the Chestnut Franklee, good lad!

If tried that on my horse he would cough then limp a bit and report me to the horse welfare !!!

Man vs Juan

Frank looks to be ready for another go at it. Amazing animal!

Race horse has amazing running form.

Gorgeous horse

14:50 beautiful shot of heather and her horse franklee 😊

That is not the fastest of a horse it can go more faster

It's down to both of you (horse rider/and Horse) you need a good horse rider very good, to make horse go fast on a very tricky course. Heather/and Horse the winner, congrats Heather. Best bit 14:05.

To Heather I think you did amazing job, navigating around the course, like that (taking the wide line, think you Heather did a excellent job, (congratulations Heather, and horse) on your win, ace win by Heather.

Fantastic video and editing. Stunning scenery round Dartmoor. Well done to Franklee, Heather, Mark and the rest of the GTN crew for bringing us this challenge. Heather and Mark will have to go head to head on the Redbull 400 race when travel restrictions are over

@Heather Fell would love to hear about your transition from pentathlon to triathlon
