This morning saw Tom finish the first leg of his challenge sculling from The London Aquatic Centre to Tower Pier!
Our very own 2020 Doggett's winner, James Berry, was also at Tower Pier to welcome him.
Tom then continued his challenge by transferring to a bike and heading off to Reading. He will also turn swimmer and runner this week to get him back to his hometown of Plymouth, via Exeter.
