Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am going to undertake the London Triathlon for Sam Beare Hospice, the link between the two being Dave Scrutton who passed away in 2010.</p> <p><a title="Beasting Blog" href="http://beastingblog.webplus.net/index.html" target="_blank">Visit my beasting blog to find out how I'm getting on with training http://beastingblog.webplus.net/index.html</a></p> <p>Dave was one of my bosses at Broadcast Services in 2003ish. He got me into cycling and running, a simple step to triathlon which he told me I'd be stupid not to try. He even contributed towards my hybrid bike which has been a bit of a work horse carrying my weight around the country at break neck speeds. He was encouraging, fun and generous so I'm keen to honour his memory.</p> <p>I'll let you know how my training is going, I haven't undertaken a triathlon since the Vitruvian Half Ironman about 2 years ago and have a lot of spare weight I need to lose.</p> <p>Oh, and if you see me eating cake please use reasonable force to stop me.</p>
