-16 European Titles (12 Fitasc and 4 Compak)
-4 European Compak Titles
-10 World Cups

......Oh, and he's also an MBE.

Just wondered if there are anymore?

    •Ironman world champion in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 (did not compete in 2010 due to illness)
    •World record holder over Ironman distance with time of 8:18:13
    •Competed in 13 professional Ironman races, winning all of them
