5 . A cancer survivor has become the first woman to complete an exhausting “Sea to Summit” triathlon(三项全能运动) which saw her swim, cycle, and run over 330 miles in just five days. Andrea Mason was overjoyed when she crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning.
The race was set in the French Alps. Setting off at 6:15am on Friday, 39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain, and hallucinations(幻觉),but she pushed on --managing to complete the race in an impressive four days, 23 hours, and 41 minutes. Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery. Following a successful operation, she is now hoping to raise awareness of women’s health. In the past year,Andrea set up her own charity, Lady Talk Matters, in order to improve surrounding female’s health.
Andrea, from Blackpool in Lancashire, England, said,“I am so happy all went according to plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong. I wanted to do it in five days, and I did,but it was very tough. I had some low moments, particularly when I couldn’t sleep in my limited rest periods, and when I couldn’t keep any food down as I was running. For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run, particularly as large parts of it were in the dark. It was bigger than I imagined, the impact on my body was huge. But every time I felt like giving up,I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn’t been diagnosed. That is why I put myself through this.”
Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy, cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc, and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc. You could say Andrea’s actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this. She completed her first three-mile race “powered by chocolate bars" when she was just four.

There’s no doubt that doing more exercise is
It’s helpful for us to do more exercise. I
Let’s go out
Exercising is a free time activity that helps people to feel good in many aspects of the health definition.
The best known part that exercising improves is the physical part. The physical effect of exercising is that every part and system of our body is in continuous movement. There are many parts in our body that benefit from exercise, but one of the most important parts that exercising helps is the blood circulation system. For example, when you exercise, muscles move, and to move, muscles need oxygen in the blood, so the heart has to pump blood at a faster speed to keep the muscles moving. This trains your heart and lungs giving you more strength for the future.
Another part of the definition of health is mental health. This is one of the aspects that makes people exercise. Exercise distracts and relaxes you for a while because in your exercise, you are getting rid of many feelings, such as stress. Many people feel that after exercising, all the problems and pressures of their lifestyle disappear or at least are forgotten for a while. While exercising problems of our lives can be solved because you are calm and relaxed, and it s just much easier to think clearly.
The social aspect of health is helped with exercise because many of the sports are and can be made with someone else. This makes stronger relationships because you meet people that like you and share the same things. I think that this makes you feel more secure and learn about human relationships.
Exercising is an activity that touches the three aspects of health. By exercising you could improve the functioning of your body, be calm in your mind, and meet new people which make a healthier life. All in all, exercising enables you to get the satisfaction of doing something that helps you to live a healthy life. This idea causes many people to think of exercise as a drug. You should try it. Exercise, and be healthy.
