Update 10th June:
So the race was run and the dust has settled - we all did it!
Emma started us off on the Saturday in the blistering heat. Despite this she managed a great time of 1:47:55.
Sunday saw the blokes take the stage, results as follows:
Adam 1:29:34
Alex 1:26:53
Colin 1:24:44
Ian 1:24:44
A great time was had by all - thank you so much to everyone who supported us. Your generosity has stunned us all and is going to a truly excellent cause!

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
An ill-advised drunken pact has led us to agreeing to all compete in the Blenheim Sprint Triathlon - 750m Swim, 20k Bike, 5k Run on the weekend of 5th/6th June 2010.
Putting aside the risks of drowning and serious injury, we would like something positive to come out of it so we're trying to raise a bit for a charity close to our hearts, the Down's Syndrome Association.
This is a fantastic charity which does great work, championing the cause of people with Down's Syndrome. They have provided great support to Ian and Karen since Edie took centre stage three and a half years ago.
A serious training schedule is already in place with Colin already shedding pounds following the strategic decision to contract a gastro-intestinal infection whilst on business in Russia, and Ian is getting extra miles in cycling due to an inability to read maps. Alex is a bit of a veteran of these things so will be showing us how it's done. But we're all a bit worried about being humiliated by Emma - apart from Adam for whom this is a daily and consensual arrangement.
So if you would like to support us and, more importantly the DSA, please use the links on screen...and thank you!
