Ultimate triathlon and Thames water

I've recently come across Charlie Wittmack's challenge, The World Triathlon, which consists in none less than swimming down the whole Thames and cross the English Channel (275 miles / 443km), cycle to China (9,000 miles / 14,500km), before running to the summit of mount Everest (950 miles / 1,500km).
As you can imagine, this is not going to be trivial, but it's interesting to note that the first issue faced by Charlie was to inadvertently drink a sip of the Thames water and consequently falling violently ill! Luckily Charlie is now fine again and should be swimming in London tomorrow.
