Firstly, thanks for taking the time out to look into what I was up to!

Basically, on the 2nd August 2009, in our nation's capital, I have committed to the following:-

A 1.5km Swim, followed by a 40km Cycle, followed by a 10km Run.

I'll be competing in the World's largest triathlon - The Mazda London Triathlon 2009 - which will commence with a seasonal dip in the Royal Victoria Docks, then a scenic cycle to Westminster Bridge, with a final brisk trot around Excel and the Docklands! ;O)

No ... seriously, I'm training my heart out, and am trying for a sub 3 hour time ... which means that most evenings/ weekends you'll usually find me either swimming between the Brighton Piers, running up into the South Downs or cycling somewhere quite far away (or more recently a combination of all 3 .... Ouch!! (and I mean that in the true sense of the word!)) ;O)

What would be amazing, is if all this effort was channelled/ reinforced .... my Charity of Choice is the ultimately worthwhile British Red Cross.

Obviously don't feel obliged, but if you do commend the work they do globally to aid people in crises, then please use this Sponsorship opportunity to help fund their wide-reaching projects.

Thanks for your attention, and I appreciate all your support!

Shane.

:O)

 

P.S. - I am also competing in the Team Relay event the day before, in which I'll be doing the 40km Cycle leg for my team Labtech Academicals - so please, spare a thought for my thighs!! ;O)
