Button Completes London Triathlon

While most drivers are relaxing on a beach in some exotic location, Jenson Button took part in the Challenger World London Triathlon on Sunday.

The McLaren driver took part in the event, which included a swim near the ExCel Centre in east London’s Docklands, followed by a 40-kilometer bike ride and a 10-kilometer run. Button, who competed in the event in aid of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, completed the triathlon in a time of just two hours, 14 minutes and 14 seconds.

“I wasn’t feeling very well at the start of the week, which is why I have come in a bit slower than last time round,” the reigning World Champ told the BBC. “I really didn’t want to miss out on the weekend though as I had such a fantastic time here last year so I just decided to battle through it.”
