Story

A number of years ago I did a number of smaller events and may a promise that by the time I hit a special birthday -i would take on the full distance - so in Jan 2015 I signed up to IM Wales which takes place in Tenby on September 13th..Quite simply something i would never do and is a fairly scary thought.. I have 17 hours to complete one after the other and I envisage using the entire 17 hours...

The Swim is a 2.4 mile sea swim in Tenby bay.  The 112mile bike route is  hilly with somewhere in the region 3000m of climbing and the marathon is 4 loop of the town with a long climb out of the town on each loop..  EEEKKKKK!!!

.  It has been quite a year of self discovery and cant wait for the gun to blast at 7am on the Sunday.  For further photographic evidence of my journey check out my Instragram page :Karlos437  

Having trained all year and done the Brighton Marathon in April, Cycled to Holland in June I am looking forward to some down time after this!!!
