Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I decided to enter the Derby Triathalon on my last birthday when I thought it would be a good idea to get fitter. I have always wanted to enter a triathalon but assumed myself too unfit - but I thought "now or never!"

The Derby Triathalon seemed a good one to go for as firstly, the swim is in a pool and secondly, the distances are not too long. It's a 400m swim, a 18km bike ride and a 5km run. Having said that I hadn't swam or ran for about 10 years. So these distances seemed plenty long enough!

I have been cycling, running and swimming now every week since June and I hope I have done enough to be able to complete the event.
