Hi All

 

Following on from my recent success of running 3 miles for charity, i've decided to raise the bar so high that I can't imagine the pain to come and enter a Triathlon!  Only a novice distance, but i'm certainly no athlete.  The event consists of a 400m open water swim, a 20km bike ride and a mere 5km run!  The event is in September so i've got 6 months to gain some kind of fitness! 

 

The event is for charity so im hoping that along the road of pain I can raise some money to help others.  That's where you come in, I need to raise as much as possible to help spur me on over that finish line.  Any money I raise will be divided amongst several charities, including Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital (as a parent, I can really relate to the fantastic work they do there!).

 

Ive started training 5 times a week to lose those few stone which are holding me back from world record pace!  6lb down and a lot more to go, but i'm willing to take the pain! Im not promising I will finish in a position but just crossing that line will be a feat!  I will keep you updated on my progress and I might even send you some pics of me collapsed in a heap after my training sessions or maybe even after my first open water training swim!

 

So please, give what you can and hopefully I can repay in effort!

Thanks

Aiden
