In 1998, Australian David Holleran completed a triathlon consisting of a 26-mile swim, 1,242-mile bike ride and a 310-mile run. He holds the record for the longest triathlon in the Guinness World Records. Bastidas will more than double that distance, swimming 95 miles, biking 2,932 miles and running 735 miles for a total of 3,762 miles before reaching Washington near the end of April. With this triathlon, she's supporting a new cause to raise awareness about human trafficking and stop it. 

You don't usually think of people who are trying to break world records and supporting a cause. That's really admirable not to do just because but to do it to support something you believe in.
