<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">On 17th June 2012 I shall be competing in the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) official UK Ironman 70.3 race. The event takes place each year in Exmoor National Park.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">This particular triathlon is considered to be the most punishing on the international Ironman 70.3 circuit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Now let me explain what I have let myself in for here. The 70.3 number in the title refers to the miles that this race covers. This is broken down to the following 3 disciplines:-</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">- Swim 1.2 miles</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">- Cycle 56 miles</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">- Run 13.1 miles</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">As this is an official race there are also time cut offs. The first being 1 hour 10 minutes for the swim and 8 hours 30 minutes for the entire event. I am aiming for 6 hours!!! You might think this is ambitious, but I have been competing at sprint and olympic distances for the past 3 seasons. Also, in order to assist my training and preparation I am off to the internationally</span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> renowned</span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"> Club La Santa on Lanzarote for a week long distance training camp between 1st - 8th March 2012.</span></p>
