On 19th July I will be taking part in IronMan UK. This is a triathlon consisting of a 2.4 mile / 3.8 km open water swim followed by a 112 mile / 180 km cycle ride finishing with a full marathon run - 26.2 miles / 42.2 km. 

I have been training for this since November six days a week with 2 sessions on most days.

I completed this event in 2012 in 14:14 so am determined to beat that time. If not, I'll be happy to crawl over the finish line.

I am raising funds for The National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease as my wife suffers from Crohn's disease. The support that they provide is invaluable.
