So I am turning 40. I was never going to just roll into this lightly and here it is, I've been looking for that next challenge after completing my 50 mile ultra marathon back in February 2016 it needed to be a bigger challenge, I run that's what I do, it's 'my thing' but adding in a bike section takes this challenge to the next level.

13.1 miles run, 112 mile bike and to finish 26.2 miles (with the last 8 up and down Ben Nevis) http://ratrace.com/citytosummit/

It's like an ironman for the Lady who really doesn't like swimming!

Close friend and also Elite Conditioning Instructor Debbie joins me on this, after coming 3rd in the World Baithle Championships in October 2016 this to is her next challenge.

Over the next 7 months we will be tackling some of the toughest races, terrains and conditions in some very unique events as part of our training and preparation for this event next July - It goes without saying that to take part in such a challenge we both felt we wanted to raise money for charity and the charity of choice by Rat Race for this event is such a worthy cause we decided to fully support the Children with Cancer charity.

This is no small task but here's to raising money for a great cause, experiencing some of the best races the UK has to offer and celebrating turning 40 just 4 days after we complete this challenge.
