After venturing into endurance sport this year with my first marathon I have decided to set my self the next challenge and not an easy one.  

I have decided to enter IRONMAN UK Bolton. Having originally thought of entering a half distance Ironman in memory of Keith, a friend foremost and colleague second. Keith was such a positive man who was suddenly taken from us all.

From my very first Parkrun his interest and encouragement was endless, my only regret is we never did do "that" Park run together.

 So a half distance just does not seem fitting or worthy of such a man, hence I am taking on a full distance

Right, so what does Bolton Ironman consist of?? First it's a swim of 2.4 miles then a cycle of 112 miles and then straight into a 26 mile marathon. Phew!

If I can finish this mammoth event, I'll be crossing the line in memory of my friend. Keith will be there every step of the way in my mind so Keith, this is for you.

 As with every charity plea this is for a very worthy cause - The British Heart Foundation, which I believe Keith's partner wanted. Please dig deep as I will be digging a lot deeper July 4th 2021.

And so..... the training starts!

Many Thanks
