Irish rugby player and reality star Greg O'Shea tackled the “biggest challenge” over the weekend involving a 3.8km sea swim, a 180km bike ride, and a 42km run. Greg, who scooped up first place with Amber Gill on Love Island in 2019, took part in the Ironman Barcelona on October 1 and was supported from the sidelines by his South African model girlfriend Jeanni Mulder, who he has been dating since earlier this year. Before taking on the huge challenge, the model shared some sweet words of support for her beau as she wrote: “Tomorrow is one of your biggest challenges yet and I've been lucky enough to see the hard work you have put in and it's safe to say I have never believed in someone the way I believe in you.
In awe of your hard work and dedication. LET'S GO BABY”. Greg shared his nerves with his followers the day before the race as he said he was “hesitant” to speak about the challenge publically.
The Love Island star said: “My next challenge is my toughest yet.
I’ve been hesitant to speak about this challenge publicly and I even thought about just not mentioning it at all, but then I realised that’s kinda being a coward. It’s only fair that I share the stuff that I’m not too confident about as well.” The athlete continued: “I remember meeting one of the best Ironman athletes in the world @notanotheraveragejoe and telling him I’d love to try an Ironman but I’m not sure if I can do it. Joe just said to me “of course you can, just put in the training and give it a shot”.
