you so for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
<span style='color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'>As
most of you know, we have been doing triathlon's for quite some time now and
this year we thought we would bite the bullet and attempt a big challenge. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
<span style='color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'>On
the 7th August we are taking part in Iron Man Regensburg in Germany. Iron man
is an endurance triathlon consisting of 3.8K (2.4 mile) swim, a 180K (112mile)
cycle followed by a 42K (26mile) run. We have to complete this within 16 hours
- otherwise we will be pulled out of the race. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you can imagine this is a daunting prospect
and apart from being in the right physical shape on the day, nutrition and
hydration are really important and if we get these wrong, it is highly likely
we won't not finish. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Training has been
gruelling and has involved 30 weeks of preparation which has included 5.30am
wake up calls and a severe lack of social life.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
<span style='color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'>We
are raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support and would really appreciate it
if you donate a little something to this cause. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Macmillan improves the lives of people
affected by cancer by providing practical, emotional and financial support. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One in three people are affected by cancer and
we are doing this race in the memory of Siobhan's mum who was a victim of
cancer and had her life cut short by the disease.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
