Welcome to the DTRB Birmingham Triathlon teams page. 

We are fully into our training now but we still have a few obstacles to over come before race day (Ben doesn't yet have a bike for his 40K cycle, Ryan has never swam in open water, and Dave is yet to run a full 10K).  However we are looking forward to it and are excited to be raising money for such a worthwhile and important cause.

So please donate!

(**Update 01/07/10** Ryan has now begun open water training, Ben has a bike and Dave has completed a 10k run so we are progressing nicely!)

If the above doesn't motivate you to sponsor us then perhaps this will:

As many of you will know, Barclay Webster, from Deloitte Total Reward and Benefits' Edinburgh team, was diagnosed with a rare sinus cancer in July last year.  Following his diagnosis he has undergone chemotherapy (in Edinburgh), surgery (in Glasgow) and radiotherapy (in Clatterbridge, in the Wirral). 

Barclay is now recovering from his treatment at home in Edinburgh.  He is gradually getting his strength and energy back and hopes to return to work soon.  Although he has been running as part of his attempt to recover his strength the triathlon has come a bit too soon for him, but he gives his best wishes to those who are competing, and encourages everyone to support those who are taking part.
