The 50m breaststroke specialist went into uncharted waters in London as he competed in his debut triathlon.
The T100 is the latest triathlon phenomenon, which sees professionals take on a 2km swim, 80km bike ride and 18km run (totalling 100km).
There is also an opportunity for amateurs across the Olympic distance (1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run).
Peaty took part in the Olympic distance, completing the race in 2:34:37.
Peaty competed as part of a stacked celebrity line-up which included McFly drummer Harry Judd, former racing driver Billy Monger, who broke the Ironman world record for a double amputee in 2024, and Mercedes F1 reserve driver Frederik Vesti.
It was also a family affair, as Peaty undertook the mammoth race alongside his new family, with Gordon Ramsay, his wife Tana and their daughter Tilly all taking part as well.

Celebrity chef and Peaty’s soon-to-be father-in-law, Gordon, is a triathlon veteran, competing in the Ironman World Championship in Kona in 2013, and was seen to laugh as Peaty stumbled over the line.
After the event, Peaty said: “Hardest thing I’ve ever done – 100% would do it again.”

The T100 Triathlon World Tour London route for 2025 is set in the London Royal Docks area, starting and finishing at the ExCeL Centre.
The swim takes place in the Royal Victoria Dock — a picturesque body of water rich in maritime history — and consists of two one-km laps.
Exiting the swimming leg at the ExCeL Centre, athletes then take on the bike course, which consists of eight 10km laps.
The route heads west from the docks and turns around near the O2 Arena across the river.
It then circles back past the ExCeL Centre to a second roundabout, offering a 180-degree turn for the riders.
The competitors then take on the run, which consists of five laps of a 3.6km circuit running alongside the Royal Victoria and Royal Albert Docks.
The professionals took to the course on Saturday August 9, with shocking results across both the men’s and women’s race.
The British women were out in full force for their home race, but only one could be crowned the victor in front of a home crowd.
Kate Waugh has stunned this season, having previously been named as a wildcard for only one event, putting intense precious on the tournament mainstays, but failed to take the win in London.
Instead, 2023 World Ironman champion Lucy Charles-Barclay clinched the win, with a dominant performance across all disciplines, taking her first win of the T100 season.
In the men’s race it was Hayden Wilde who shocked the London crowd.
The New Zealand two-time Olympic medallist returned to racing for the first time since suffering a horror crash in Japan, and managed to excel in London despite difficult conditions.
