Hellvellyn Triathlon · 3 September 2023

The charity was set up in memory of Evie Johnston. We are based in Cumbria and support the community nursing team, our local hospital and the intensive care ward at the RVI in Newcastle, aiming to make families and poorly children's stays in hospital more bearable. For more info see our website.

Story

so I’ve decided to do the Hellvellyn Triathlon. I asked one of my gym members Neil Carrick who’s actually in a triathlon club which one would be good for a 16 and a half stone, 45 year old with a knackered leg, not swam since he was 10 and not ran since he was 17. He recommended Hellvellyn which apparently is one of the hardest in the world 🙈 1 mile swim in Ullswater lake, 48km cycle up Kirkstone Pass which has a hill called the struggle which is 2.5 mile 🤯 after that it’s a leisurely 15km run to the top of Hellvellyn which is the third highest peak in England 😂.

There is a 10 hour time limit and I’m just aiming to be within the time limit and not die or lose a leg.

I’m been 50/50 wether to do this for charity because there is a very good possibility that I might not be capable of this physically 🙈 and I’d have to give everyone’s money back and donate what was raised out of my own money but feck it let’s do it 🙏🏻

I’m going to do this for Team Evie as Greg does some fantastic work in the name of his little baby girl they lost 😞

I’ve seen he’s had to cancel a couple of events so this will hopefully help fill the missing funds.

I’d massively appreacite any small donation towards the total and also say a prayer 🙏🏻

Many thanks

Lee
