(As the mighty Bananarama once sang) that I'm fit and therefore this triathlon is not really a challenge. Poppycock! I like that, think I'll say it again... Poppycock!
I used to be a runner, yes that's true, but anyone who knows me well, also knows that I haven't been able to run for around 2 years now. Frankly the way my legs are not healing, I'll be walking the 5k as a man in a diving suit hurtles past (oh no, please no fancy dress).
As for cycling. If slowly peddling the mile into town (yes, with my wife's basket on the front of my mountain bike) constitutes cycling training, then call me Bradley Wiggins and watch my backside as I disappear up the Alps.
Now, swimming, I'm confident in the swimming. I'm not quick, but if they allowed me to do double swim and no run I'd bite their hand off (whoever "they" are)
So what's this all about? Long and short? Push to shove? This is a challenge for me, really it is, so sponsoring me to do it is a mixture of supporting that challenge and the excellent work of Hope and Homes for Children. Remeber the more you give the harder for me to back out and the more pain I suffer - surely incentive enough! So click on the tab at the top of this blog. Thank you!
