Airparks' Iron Man swims, cycles and runs to success
The CEO of Airparks, the UK's largest off-airport car parking provider, proved his tough-guy credentials earlier this month at the gruelling Iron Man challenge in Austria.
Howard Dove, 40, competed against athletes from across the world in Klagenfurt on 4 July, achieving an on-target total time of 11 hours 10 minutes.
The punishing race involved a 2.4-mile swim followed by a 112-mile cycle and concluded with a full-marathon of 26.2 miles.
Howard finished the swim in 1 hour 10 minutes, the bike race in 5 hours 35 minutes, with a 4 hour 12 minute marathon for good measure.
"This was a tough race and I was really pleased with my total time. I love a challenge so I'll be targeting 10 and a half hours in 2012," said Howard.
The winning athlete completed the challenge in around eight hours.

Customer Reviews
Purple Parking Gatwick I would like to personally thanks the lady bus driver that drove us to the terminal at nearly 3am on Friday 3rd and she was also our return driver on Friday 10th almost 3pm.
I was there with my mother who has restricted mobility at the moment. The driver was most helpful with assisting me and my mum on and off the bus on both occasions. The car was bought to the reception for us and she even helped get luggage to the car.
I really wish I got her name but hope you are able to work out who the driver was by the times we travelled and thank her. A lovely lady.
Would definitely use air park’s purple parking again.
