Jonas Deichmann is nicknamed the German Forrest Gump.

Jonas Deichmann, (b. 1987, Stuttgart), is a German author, adventurer, extreme athlete, and holder of multiple world records in cycling and endurance.

Recently, he has set a new world record by completing 106 consecutive daily Ironmans. That is, 106 Ironmans (3.8 km swim, 180 km cycle and 42 km running) in 106 days. It seems that this effort is a charity event which may have a target of 120 days.
