In June , Alistair will attempt to Defy The Impossible and become the first man to complete a full distance triathlon in under seven hours, as part of the Pho3nix Sub7Sub8 Project. And then there was his other pandemic project: writing a book—and, yes, he actually did all the interviews himself, took all the notes and transcripts, and co-wrote it with a writer. The book, Relentless , is a look at what it takes to not just be a success in sports but to go to that next level, not just one world title but many.

And he found the whole process of conducting interviews with so many different athletes fascinating. He hopes to put together another book in the future.
