'Titanium Man' proves his mettle in triathlon challenge - Update

A quadruple amputee has completed a mammoth triathlon-length event to raise money for charity.

Jamie Andrew swam more than two miles, cycled 112 miles and ran a marathon in just under 24 hours.



It started with a dawn dip in Loch Tay, followed by a cycle from Kenmore to Falkirk, and finished with a 26.2 mile run down the Union Canal to Edinburgh.

The 37-year old from Edinburgh, dubbed "Titanium Man" because of his prosthetic legs, hopes the challenge will raise £50,000.
