Fabio Spiteri is the only Maltese athlete to have completed a DECA Ultratriathlon - 38km of swimming, 1,800km on a bicycle and 422km of running across 10 days.

It is a gargantuan feat that few athletes across the world have managed.

In this interview with Valhmor Camilleri, Spiteri discusses his first steps in athletics, his switch to ironman events, friendship with the late Jake Vella and work to train athletes in Gozo.
