Having faced the challenge of BBQ'd sago grubs I thought Iwould try the Breast Cancer Care triathlon this weekend. Given my previous sporting triumphs being limited to the bean bag race its come as a tall order. I have however been out running, cycling and even swimming in gravel pits before dawn in readiness for Saturday. I am an authority on the movements of the horse guards pre dawn in Hyde Park at the weekend and the counter culture that is open water swimming. Needless to say  I am looking to finish rather than achieve a good time. If you could spare a small donation to this worthwhile charity please do sponsor me
