Well the day came and the nerves kicked in! However I did finish in a fairly respectable time of 1 hr and 54 mins.. What a buzz! Thanks to everyone for your support. Many, many thanks. Simon

6 days to go and a few nerves are kicking in. Quite looking forward to it in a masochistic kind of way. Hope it stays warm!!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After finding out late last year that my Mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer the whole family was clearly devastated. This was my way of trying to cope and do something in honour of someone I love dearly and my fundraising will hopefully help others in a way that I cannot help her.

I trust you can dig deep and support me finish my first ever triathlon and no doubt it will not be my last.

Remember to please tick the "Gift Aid Supplement".. Thanks for your support, Simon
