Today Mark chats to Ben Hoffman and Caroline Livesey who both won the PATAGONMAN XTRI. This race is fast becoming one of the most popular extreme triathlons on the circuit, and for good reason.

However, it is the run (44km) that steals the show with massive skys, huge mountains and lake views, and all off road. Let's not mention the wind!
